The Lithopolis Honeyfest Honey Bake-Off is designed to encourage the everyday cook to discover the many benefits of using honey, not just as a sweetener of choice, but as a common ingredient in a variety of recipes. You are not only adding healthy sweetness and rich flavor when you cook with honey, you are adding vitamins, minerals and antioxidants!
ABOUT BAKING OR COOKING WITH HONEY
Honey will provide some special attributes to your favorite recipes – golden crust, color, flavor, moistness and moisture retention in the products. Honey’s flavor varies with the type of flower the bees worked to produce the honey. There are over 300 varieties of honey produced in the US, ranging from almost clear to almost black in color with flavor more robust the darker the honey. Choose a flavor to suit your end product.
