Honey isn't just sweet, but there are many claims about its health and healing benefits. Some believe that honey does everything from healing wounds (due to its antimicrobial properties) to treating allergies. Those that use honey for building an immunity to their pollen allergies, a local Wildflower Honey is preferred.

At ArmadilloPepper.com, we are certainly fans of honey and particularly the many different uses for honey when preparing meals. We use honey as a sweetener in coffee, as a topping on pancakes and in many other recipes. Today's recipe is one we made from the National Honey Board.
