Did you know...

Did you know that honey is now always just honey? I bought some honey a few weeks ago -- just grabbed some off the shelf at the grocery store. I kept thinking it tasted really bland, but my thought process didn't go beyond that. Well, last week, a friend of mine came over and I got out the honey bear for our tea and she looked at the ingredients and said that it had corn syrup in it! Corn syrup in honey??!! Since when do we have to read the ingredients on a jar of honey to make sure that the honey IS honey? Go figure! I suppose that maybe the "blend" on the honey jar might have tipped me off, but I just figured it was a blend of kinds of honey, not honey mixed with something else!

So yesterday, I found a nice guy who has his own hives and bottles and sells his own honey, and I bought a jar from him and mmmmmmmm it's so good! Can't believe the difference! Now that's real honey!
