  • Honey Frost

                   Submitted by: Mark         Average Rating: Not Rated Yet

    Ingredients

    • 4 eggs
    • 2/3 cup Ontario Honey
    • 4 drops yellow food coloring
    • 1/4 tsp. almond extract
    • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
    • 1 tsp. gelatin (unflavored)
    • 1 tbsp. cold water
    • 1 cup whipping cream, chilled

    Directions

    Separate three of the four eggs.  Add fourth egg to the yolks.  Beat until thick and light colored (about two minutes).  Add honey gradually to yolk mixture, beating until very thick.  Beat in food coloring, almond extract, and nutmeg.

    Beat egg whites to stiff peak stage (a spoon drawn through the meringue leaves a clear-cut edge).  Set aside.

    Soften gelatin in cold water.  Dissolve over hot water.  Set aside to cool slightly.

    Whip cream in a chilled bowl, adding cooled gelatin as cream begins to thicken.  Continue beating until stiff.  Fold honey-egg yolk mixture into whipped cream.  Fold in beaten egg whites.  

    Spoon into 1 1/2 quart mold or into 3 ice cube trays.  Freeze until firm.

     Serve garnished with toasted coconut or fresh fruit.  Makes 6-8 servings.  This dessert freezes well for up to three months.

                   Submitted by: Michael         Average Rating: 5 out of 5

    Ingredients

    • 2 gelatine leaves
    • 300 g fresh rhubarb cut into 2 cm diced pieces
    • 59 ml (2 oz) liquid Ontario Honey

    • 200 ml 35% cream
    • 200 ml milk

    This is a simple, easy-to-make spring custard dessert.  The sweetness of the honey rounds out the tart rhubarb more evenly than sugar.

    Soak gelatine leaves in cold water.  Saute rhubarb with honey and water and cook until tender.

    Combine milk and cream and warm to a gentil simmer (do not boil).  Remove gelatine from water and squeeze out all excess water.  Add to dairy and stir until all the gelatine is dissolved.  Remove from heat and add rhubarb and combine well.  Portion into serving dishes and cool in the refrigerator.  Garnish with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
