How to use honey with honeycomb. Try layering your honey comb over toast scones or on a baguette. So you start with the honeycomb. Just toast a slice of bread and while still hot spread a piece of honeycomb over the bread with a butter knife until it melts. The crushed honeycomb is about 1 4 to 1 3 the volume of the chunk honeycomb. Honeycomb is a natural product made by honey bees to store honey and pollen or house their larvae.
They add color and the honey and fruit go really well together. After opening the top of the capped cells with a heated knife a honey extractor spins the honey comb to force out the liquid honey. Spread on bread because of the unique texture of the comb your honey will easily spread over your toast in a thick layer without the drip. I like to serve three different kinds of cheese. This is known as the crush and strain method where you basically use a big potato masher to crush the whole honeycomb and then strain the honey.
At this point it s a lot of volume but it reduces in size pretty quickly with a bit of mashing. Since the honeybees do not have to start all over rebuilding the honey comb they get to work filling the cells with honey. Add a few extra touches like a handful of toasted almonds dried apricots and a bunch of grapes. Gather an assortment of crackers and sliced baguette. Add the honeycomb directly to the board allowing honey to pool into the nearby cheeses.
Spoon your honey comb on top and impress all your dinner guests. Eating honeycomb on toast is a fun alternative to the classic breakfast treat of toast and honey. The beekeeper then returns the honey comb frame to the hive. Lay out your various cheeses.
