I'm cleaning out my cabinets and I need to put close to 6 pounds of honey at use.

I am looking for recipes that use a lot of honey. 1 tablespoon just won't do it, know what I mean? smileys/wink.gif

 
How about this? REC: Honey Lemon Jelly

This recipe had great reviews on the Fine Cooking Forum.

HONEY LEMON JELLY

2 cups honey 475 ml
1 cup sugar 240 ml
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, strained 160 ml
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest 10 ml (poster used more)
1/2 cup water 120 ml
1 3-oz (85-ml) pouch liquid pectin

Prepare the preserving jars.

Combine honey, sugar, lemon juice, zest, and water. Bring to boil over med heat and stir in pectin. Continue to cook & stir until the mixture reaches a full, rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard for exactly 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir and skim off foam if necessary.

Quickly pour the jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 imch (6 cm) head space. Wipe rims. Seal according to mfg's directions. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 4 minutes.

Note at side: Use a light, delicately flavored honey for this magically sweet treat. There are two important things to note about this jelly. Honey jelly really boils up when its cooking, so take care that the pot does not boil over. It also sets up very quickly when it is removed from the heat, so do not delay in filling the jars.

(Makes 3-4 8 oz (250 ml) jars)

REC: Burnt Honey Ice Cream with Warm Strawberry Salad...

BURNT HONEY ICE CREAM WITH WARM STRAWBERRY SALAD

Recipe By :Gale Gand
Serving Size : 4

1/2 cup honey
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup half and half
1/2 vanilla bean -- split lengthwise
9 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup creme fraiche -- or sour cream
Paper milk/juice container
Warm Strawberry Salad -- (See Recipe)

In a large saucepan, boil the honey to caramelize it a bit and to get a slightly burnt flavor. Take off the heat and add the cream, half-and-half, and vanilla bean, then bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't scorch on the bottom. When it reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 10 to 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Whisking constantly, slowly pour the still-hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees F, the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees F it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough yet. When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat.

Meanwhile, half-fill a large bowl with ice water. Rest a smaller bowl in the ice water. Strain the mixture into the smaller bowl to smooth it and remove the vanilla bean. Whisk in the crème fraiche. Let cool, stirring often, then continue according to the directions of your ice cream maker.

Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the paper milk quart container then cut off the top. Cram the ice cream into the container, packing it well to get rid of all the air pockets. Place in freezer for at least 6 hours.

REC: Halvah...

Halvah

Recipe By :Bruce Weinstein

1/2 cup untoasted sesame oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup tahini
3/4 cup honey

1. Warm the oil in a large heavy skilled over low heat. Add the flour and stir until the oil and flour are thoroughly combined. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to turn pale brown. Add the tahini and stir until the mixture has a uniform color and consistency. Turn off the heat.

2. In a separate small saucepan, bring the honey to a boil over high heat. Boil for 1 minute. Immediately add the hot honey to the flour mixture. Stir until the honey is completely incorporated.

3. Spread the mixture into a small ungreased 5- by 9-inch loaf pan and pack the mixture down with the back of a spatula. Let the halvah cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours or until the pan feels cool. The halvah will shrink back slightly from the edges of the pan as it cools, and should therefore unmold easily when the pan is inverted. Wrap the halvah in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

4. To serve, cut the halvah into thin slices.
