Try versatile honey with a variety of foods

Try chestnut honey with pears and cheese, or lavender honey with ice cream, or thyme honey drizzled over thick yogurt. Even regular honey can taste different, depending on where it comes from. And, while all honey is good in marinades for meat (as the sugars help meat get a crackly brown glaze), varietal honey is especially interesting, as the herb flavors reflect and interact with the rest of the marinade.(For more information, visit www.foodnetwork.com.
