I purchased a jar of pear honey from a church friend. She suggested to eat pear honey on top of hot biscuits because this honey is very sweet. She was right- it’s SO GOOD on hot biscuits. My friend is going to show me how to make preserves, something I’ve always wanted to do, but have been so afraid of trying! She loaned me her cookbook, so I plan to spend some time copying recipes to try.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ~Psalms 19:14
