Avocado Honey

Avocado honey comes from bees working the blossoms of avocado orchards; in the United States most of it is made in Southern California. It is one of the darkest common honeys, with a thick, buttery body and notes that sellers compare to molasses, brown sugar and caramel, and it does not taste like avocado fruit. Its strong flavor holds up in marinades, glazes, barbecue sauce and baking, and next to strong cheeses. The buy link goes to The Bee Charmer's raw avocado honey, a 13.5 oz jar from California's coastal avocado groves.
