Sweet Treat: Delicious Honey Recipe to Try

This recipe for Burnt Honey Gelato comes from the National Honey Board here. It yields 4-6 servings.

For the caramelized honey, you will need ⅔ cup of honey, ½ teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water. The custard requires 2 egg yolks, 1½ cups of whole milk, 3 sprigs of fresh basil, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, and ½ cup of mascarpone cheese.

To prepare the caramelized honey, mix honey, lemon juice, and water in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. For the custard, first simmer the milk with basil in a medium saucepan, then remove from heat and let it steep for 10 minutes. After removing the basil, whisk in the warm caramelized honey.
