Fresh fruit is a favorite Greek dessert, sweet snack, and a great addition to the breakfast table. It's delicious served alone, but you can dress it up with a drizzle of fabulous Greek honey. Whether you slice the oranges or separate them into pieces, this 1-2-3 recipe (one step, two ingredients, three minutes) adds a lovely touch.
What You'll Need
1 or 2 oranges (or clementines)
2 to 3 drops of Greek thyme honey (or other honey of your choice).
Optional: cinnamon (ground)
How to make Thyme Honey
Supplies
-any size glass jar
-a small pot
Ingredients
-fresh garden thyme leaves and flowers, enough to fill your jar 2/3 full
-raw, unpasteurized local honey (if possible)
Method
1. Fill a glass jar with 2/3 full of thyme leaves and flowers.
2. Add enough honey to the jar to cover the herbs.
3. In double boiler fashion, fill a small pot with water, add your jar of thyme and honey, then gently heat the mixture for 30 minutes. This will help soften the honey in order for mixing and it will also help extract the goodness of the herbs. Note: Do not let the water get any hotter than 110 degrees Fahrenheit or the heat will kill the healing enzymes of the honey.
4. Remove from heat, label, and cap. Place your jar of honey near a window, in a warm and sunny spot. There it should stay for 2 weeks.
5. Store honey in a cool, dark place. It should keep for several months.
How to Make It
Peel the oranges, break into pieces (or slice).
Arrange on a serving dish, and drizzle with honey.
Optionally, add a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Done!
