What to do when life gives you lots of lemons? Well dust of Granny Newell’s Lemon Honey recipe of course. Tangy sweet lemon honey is perfect spread on toast or crumpets, a tsp. in hot water on a cold winter day?
I layered hot pancakes with lemon honey and served them with unsweetened greek yogurt and almonds, it was utter bliss!

Its a great tangy sweet recipe! Awesome love to see pics when you do 🙂
This looks wonderful. 🙂 I’ve made lemon marmalade and dandelion honey – this seems to be a perfect blend!
Yum dandelion honey sounds interesting! Do you have a recipe?
I love making sauces/dips/jams/stocks at home.
Now make homemade Vegan Cream Cheese
Tofu makes it possible.
