RE: Peaches, Blackberries, and Bees, Oh My!

in #food7 years ago

I just found your blog through a @jerrybanfield post. Congratulations.

Here is a recipe that you might like. It is Honey Custard that is just fantastic with fresh fruit.

Beat 4 whole eggs, 1/4 c honey, 1 t vanilla, and 1/8 t salt. Heat 2 c milk to just barely simmering and whisk it slowly into the eggs. Portion out into custard cups and bake at 300F for 60 minutes with the cups sitting in a shallow pan of water. Cool to nearly room temperature before serving.

This custard is good with fresh fruit on top. Cubed peaches and blackberries are a natural combo. I also like cantaloupe and blueberries.

You can also use the custard to show off a special jar of varietal honey. In that case, serve the custard a little bit warm and lay on a generous spoonful of honey just before you bring the cups to the table. The warmth of the custard releases the floral character of the honey.

Custard is such a great idea for all of this fruit. And I've got a fresh supply of eggs, so I'm all set! Wow this sounds delicious. When I make it, I'll do a post ok? Thanks @professorbromide :)

I'm following you so that I won't miss the post. Hope you love it.
