Hot Honey Bourbon Wing Sauce 🍯🔥🥃

📋 Ingredients:
🥃 ⅓ cup bourbon
🌶️ ⅓ cup Frank's hot sauce
🧈 3 tablespoons butter
🍯 2 teaspoons honey
🍴 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
🤎 4 tablespoons brown sugar
🍅 6 tablespoons ketchup
🍋 1 tablespoon white vinegar
🔥 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
🧄 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 ½ teaspoon onion powder

📝 Directions:
1️⃣ Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
2️⃣ Add the rest of the ingredients to the saucepan and stir to combine.
3️⃣ Bring sauce to a light simmer, then stir and reduce the heat back to medium-low.
4️⃣ Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are well combined, 3-5 minutes.
5️⃣ Toss sauce with your preferred sauce delivery system (wings, tofu, cauliflower).
6️⃣ Freeze extra sauce for later use. Because of the bourbon, it does not freeze solid, so be sure to keep it in a well-sealed container.

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes | Servings: Enough for about three dozen wings

Note About The Recipe:
This Hot Honey Bourbon Wing Sauce is a game-changer for wing enthusiasts seeking a departure from the classic buffalo flavor. The sauce combines the sweetness of honey and brown sugar with the rich depth of bourbon and a kick of heat from cayenne pepper and hot sauce. It's versatile enough to enhance not just wings but also tofu, cauliflower, and even hearty fish like salmon. The recipe is straightforward and quick to prepare, making it perfect for a spontaneous game night or a planned gathering. Remember, the sauce's consistency allows it to be frozen for future use, ensuring you're always ready to whip up a batch of flavorful wings.

Sweet and Savory Honey Roasted Butternut Squash with Cranberries, Pecans, and Feta 🍯🎃🍂✨
This Sweet and Savory Honey Roasted Butternut Squash with Cranberries, Pecans, and Feta is the perfect balance of flavors. The sweetness of the honey and butternut squash is complemented by tart cranberries, crunchy pecans, and tangy feta, making it an irresistible side dish for any occasion, especially during the fall and holiday seasons.

Ingredients:
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup pecans, roughly chopped
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Butternut Squash:
In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Roast the Squash:
Spread the seasoned butternut squash in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized around the edges. Toss halfway through for even cooking.

4. Toast the Pecans:
In the last 5 minutes of roasting the squash, spread the chopped pecans on the same baking sheet to toast them lightly.

5. Add the Cranberries:
Once the squash is done roasting, remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle the dried cranberries over the squash. Let the heat from the squash slightly soften the cranberries.

6. Assemble and Garnish:
Transfer the roasted butternut squash mixture to a serving dish. Top with the toasted pecans, crumbled feta, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

It’s great for special occasions or whenever you want something simple yet impressive!

Ingredients:
4 ripe but firm pears (Bosc or Anjou)

¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Prepare the Pears: 2. Halve the pears lengthwise and scoop out the cores with a spoon or melon baller, creating a small well in each pear half. 3. Place the pear halves, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish. Dot each pear with a small piece of butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake the Pears: 4. Bake the pears in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender but still hold their shape. The baking time will depend on the ripeness of the pears.

Add the Toppings: 5. Once the pears are baked, remove them from the oven. Carefully spoon the mixed berries into the center of each pear half. 6. Sprinkle the walnuts and crumbled blue cheese over the pears and berries. 7. Drizzle the pears generously with honey and return them to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese begins to melt slightly.

Serve: 8. Remove the pears from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and drizzle with extra honey before serving.

Details:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Tips:
For a lighter option, substitute the blue cheese with goat cheese or ricotta.
You can add a splash of balsamic glaze for an extra tangy touch that complements the sweetness of the pears.

Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken

A deliciously crispy oven-baked chicken coated with a crunchy panko crust and drizzled with a sweet and spicy homemade hot honey glaze. Perfect for adding a little kick to your dinner!

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Hot Honey Glaze:

1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
In a shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until evenly coated.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
While the chicken bakes, prepare the hot honey glaze by combining the honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the hot honey glaze over the crispy chicken and serve immediately.

Because the Bee Informed Partnership (BIP) is no longer administering an annual Colony Loss and Management survey, the Apiary Inspectors of America has partnered with Auburn University to create a nationwide survey that continues long-term monitoring of key aspects of the US beekeeping industry and complements BIP’s efforts over the past 15+ years.

All US beekeepers aged 18 and over – from backyard hobbyists to those running multi-state commercial operations – are strongly encouraged to participate. The survey will take 15-30 minutes to complete, and provides the best data on colony losses and management practices across the country.

Visit the https://apiaryinspectors.org/US-beekeeping-survey for more information, and be sure to take the survey before midnight on May 31, 2024! 🐝
