Definitely peanutbutter and honeycomb sandwich.

I would make the Honey Lavender Ice Cream recipe over at epicurious. I have been dying to try it!

You could make these caramels from 101 Cookbooks (with or without the espresso): http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/espresso-caramels-recipe.html

She also has a caramel apple recipe: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/caramel-apples-recipe.html

Question on honeycomb - particularly the sandwich Joan mentioned - can you eat it, or do you just chew it?

baklava. very easy if you buy frozen phyllo dough.

Since this is a special honey, I would try and showcase the flavour and so would avoid cooking with it -- I'd serve it with cheese instead.

There are lots of options -- with ricotta, feta, goat cheese, cheddar, parmesan, and especially blue cheese.

Presenting the cheese with honeycomb would make it a truly impressive dessert. Good wines to serve alongside include Gewurtztraminer, Riesling, a sweet dessert wine (Tokay, Orange Muscat, Ice Wine... there are many) or a sparkling wine.

I used to make a fabulous apple pizza -- pizza topped with apples (forget if there was cheese underneath to "glue" the apples down to the dough), walnuts, pepper and crumpled blue cheese. A few minutes before it is done, you remove the pizza and drizzle honey all over (don't overdo it though!).

Here is a bruschetta recipe that looks good:

It is really yummy on your favorite vanilla ice cream

One idea might be this deliciously warm Pears with Pecorino and Honey. Or if you're looking for a sweet and spicy breakfast or light-lunch option, try out these Ricotta Toasts with Pink Peppercorns and Honey. Hope that helps!

How about a Hungarian (or other) honey cake? I don't have a favorite recipe, but there are many awesome choices out there!

Jumping on the cheese idea: wrap some brie in puff pastry and bake it. Pour the honey on top and serve with fruit, etc.

I was also going to suggest it with cheese. I love it with Brie or Camembert, with a walnut on top them some honey drizzled on that. Yum!

i love good honey! my grandfather used to make his own honey, and now nothing tastes like real honey to me unless it's his.

anyway... my two picks are very simple, so you can really taste the honey itself. both are from when i was little. first, a frozen banana, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces, drizzled with honey. that used to be a standard dessert in my house (my mom was pretty healthy...)

the second is maybe a little weird, but i consider it a comfort food/drink. my mom called it "white tea". it's just hot water with a big spoonful of honey, topped off with some milk (~3 parts water to 1 part milk). i know some people think it sounds awful, but it's simple, and really showcases good honey.

of course peanut butter and honey is hard to beat too... i had that for lunch almost every day in middle school...

HOT TODDY!

Squirrely - Yes, you can eat it. It's great, and it's good for you.

Wow! I can't believe all of the great ideas. Now I need to go to the store to stock up on goodies to serve w/ my honey. Thanks everyone!

you can use it in place of sugar in cooking just remember that honey is acidic so add a 1/4 tsp of baking soda and dec the other liquids by a 1/4 cup or so.

I would kill for that honeycomb! Spread on whole wheat bread with a little butter. MMMMMMM!

i just made granola bars last night that called for a lot of honey (2/3 cup!).

i also love honeycomb spread on some toast with a little cheese - yum!

Hmm, I've never eaten honeycomb before. I'm intrigued by this idea...

Oh man... that looks awesome. Depending on the kind of honey it is, you could make a really nice mead with it (though the batch size would be fairly small). Then you could keep the honeycomb 'till the mead is done and serve both together! (there's a book called 'the compleat mead maker' that has a lot of really good info on that.)

Not to repeat any previous ideas (toddy, cheese plate adornment) I would suggest pouring honey over a bowl of ricotta (cow or sheep, your choice) with fresh berries or mix the honey with room temperature butter for a wonderful honey-butter spread for toast in the morning!

I love lemon and honey roasted chicken.

I love honey over yogurt and fruit for breakfast.

My favorite sandwich - split a small pit in half, stuff it with feta and drizzle with honey to taste.

You can make flavoured honeys by adding a few lavender flowers or a vanilla bean etc. I like to keep my honey pretty plain (though I use it as a sugar substitute in almost any recipe)
-drizzled on Vanilla Frozen yogurt
-As a dip for apple slices
-spread on top of almond butter on toast
-as a feature flavour for truffles (check out truffle recipes to come up with your own honey truffle recipe- they can either have a clear honey based coating, or be chocolate based with a honey flavour in them.)

I also second the ginger lemon honey tea- so good on a flu.

This is what you should be doing with honey http://www.chezus.com/2009/03/02/goat-cheese-with-pancetta/

I always ate honey comb as a kid. I often spit out the wax, but there's no harm in swallowing it. Also, I recently learned that organic honey is usually not really organic. Unless the bees are contained, they are free to pollinate any nearby plants that may not be organic. My mom will start keeping bees next month!

I don't bake or cook with a lot of honey but I love honey and peanut butter sandwiches, honey and greek yogurt, honey and vanilla ice cream!

I love honey and almond putter - I imagine it's similar to honey with peanut butter, I don't like pb so almond butter is my alternative.

I know this is a food blog, but you could also use the honey in facials (with mashed bananas) and pedicure soaks (with almond extract).
