Yummy Greenmarket Honey!

I picked up some honey at the Union Square Greenmarket this afternoon. It comes from Tremblay Apiaries in Van Etten, NY. There are currently five types of honey on offer ranging from mild to very complex: Raspberry and Rose; Spring (a mix of apple, rose, and locust); Linden; Russian Olive, which is similar to the very rare Tupelo, and Wild (too many types of flowers to list). I picked up a pound of the Linden because Alan, the very friendly and informative honey guy, said it's great for the lungs and throat...hello tea sweetner! I also bought some of the Russian Olive (not just because I love Van Morisson's song Tupelo Honey) because it's soo interesting! I used it to make salmon in a honey soy vinaigrette. Sweet!
