Honey love

A few weeks ago I discovered that we had an apiary in our local area (in the suburbs) extracting honey form colonies of bees rescued from roof cavities, walls, floors and backyard trees.  They produce honey and wax.

Honey has so many health benefits, is 100% natural and is so delicious.

Nectarines were particularly tasty this summer.  The fruit bowl was always full of them, however, not all would be consumed each week.  One week I had four unhappy looking nectarines in the bowl which I knew would not be eaten.  Instead of letting them go waste (I was taught not to waste a thing growing up) I cut them into quarters, removing the seed and froze them in a ziplock bag for a future date.

Nectarines and honey make lovely combination for dessert, served with vanilla ice cream.

Note – I let the frozen nectarines thaw slightly before using them in this dish.
