HONEY 

 

SWEET SUCCESS: Our very first honey harvest! It's been about a year since the idea to start a hive popped into our heads...I'm just going to put it out there: nothing tastes quite as deliciously sweet as honey from your very own hives. Seriously. The honey we harvested a few days ago is better than any other honey I've ever tried. It might be even sweeter because we had to wait extra long for it.( We started beekeeping last spring, but we used the honey harvest as food for the bees during the Winter).

 

This isn't going to be the most informative of posts -- I am certainly no expert on honey extraction. As the title indicates, this was my first go with the whole process. Mostly, it's my way of saying "Yay! Our beekeeping efforts finally paid off!" and to give a quick overview of the process to the bee-curious. Once we knew early this year that our bees had survived the winter (hooray!), we had our fingers crossed that they would have a much more productive year than the last one. Not only giddy, but full of gratitude for the tens of thousands of honeybees we've tended to since last year. It's really a miracle how those bees work to make such a perfect product. Who would have thought I'd grow to love a little insect as much as I love those bees!

 

Thanx Family - it's our success, the time we spent together as a family cannot be replaced.

PLUM JAM 

 

We’re on a canning spree this week. The air is crisp and the mornings are cool. We’re surrounded by a fiery array of leaves that rustle in the warm afternoon breeze. Fall is in the air and canning just feels right this time of year.

 

I could eat this plum jam by the spoonful; paired with a hot mug of tea (I’m totally day dreaming here)… My sister Ana brought plums from Lika. This tiny plum tree overproduces the most amazing little plums every year. I wish I could name this variety; anyone recognize these little beauties?

 

This recipe is really a cross between plum jam and plum preserves. It still has some of it’s preserve-like plum chunks, but it’s nice and thick and spreads beautifully. It’s awesome paired with breakfast pancakes or crepes. Oh and this would make the sweetest Christmas gift!
