Honey Butter Recipe's the Whole Family Will Enjoy!

My husband, the beekeeper, from http://www.davesbees.com/, tells me this summer we may be able to take off some honey from the hives. I'm so, EXCITED, and I'm gearing up my taste buds for some of that long awaited honey. I thought about what I would do with the first tastings of pure honey from the "Wright Family Farm," and the family suggested homemade biscuits. So, I decided I would get my Honey Butter Recipe out and share it online, as it makes for a delicious topping on biscuits. There are all kinds of different recipes for Honey Butter, some call for raw egg, some call for confectioner's sugar; some add cinnamon, such as mine does. Experiment for yourself, and when possible, buy pure honey from a Natural Beekeeper, that opts not to use chemicals in their beehives. When I talk about "Pure" honey, I'm talking about honey that corn syrup has not been added to it, to stretch the honey; I'm also talking about honey that is taken off a hive where the beekeeper doesn't use any chemicals in the keeping of their bee colonies inside the hive. Yes, it is true, beekeeping is simple, but complicated-- a hobby for some, a source of "money for honey" for others...
