Molasses Honey
I love raw honey, but it is cloyingly sweet. Sometimes I want the flavor of raw honey without all of the sweetness.
I have found blackstrap molasses to be a nutritious counterpoint to the super sweet honey. Nutritionally it adds manganese, copper, iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium. Make no mistake, blackstrap molasses is very strong, not ideal on its own. But in combination with the honey it makes a delightful spread on top of a buttered piece of bread.
This could barely be considered a recipe. This is the ratio of molasses to honey that we like. You can change it to suit your taste.
Molasses-Honey Spread
1 part blackstrap molasses
3 parts honey
Combine molasses and honey. Use as a spread on bread, biscuits, muffins or as a sweetener on popcorn. Store in the refrigerator.
it looks good!
This is an interesting idea. I will have to give it a try.
Thanks for sharing.
I made this on Saturday to go with sourdough pancakes. SO good. I also like it stirred into my oatmeal or yogurt. My boys think it’s a good pancake syrup.
Oh! I LOVE molasses, we are going to have to try this! I agree about the taste of honey but too much sweet. Now I am thinking of molasses cookies…..
am certainly gonna try this! I definitely do not use ordinary sugar in anythign anymore. i go for molasses because it’s a beneficial sweetner for my blood type, but the taste can be overwhelming at times. Why didn’t I think of adding honey before!
