When I was brainstorming a list of ideas for Rosh Hashana giveaways, something-having-to-do-with-honey naturally topped my list.
Only I don’t didn’t have any “honey connections”.
Imagine my delight when I saw that the National Honey Board was one of the sponsors of a blogging conference I attended earlier this month.
Besheret!
And wouldn’t you know that the first thing I did (well, second, after sampling their incredible honeys) was to chat them up about sponsoring a giveaway on KOAB!
I’m happy to announce that one lucky Kosher on a Budget reader will win this gorgeous honey gift basket (retail value: $100), which includes:

- Water bottle
- Honey candle

- Honey drizzler
- Honey spatula

I love taigelach.
Just liked the National Honey Board on FB
Following you on Pinterest. Looking forward to trying some of your “pins”
I liked the National Honey board. My favorite use of honey in food is when my husband makes honey mustard salad dressing. Its SOOOO good. He doesn’t even have a formal recipe…he just concocts it. I like to drizzle it on top of our duck on Rosh Hashana.
I make this fantastic two tones bundt cake every ear (honey and chocolate)

Honey in my challah. Not original, but I love that it gives the challah that special taste we only have this time of year.
I use it in salad dressings and honey cake.
I like to coat the challah with honey when I bake it 🙂
I like to use honey in my cooking all the time but on Rosh Hashana I usually make a butternut squash or a carrot kugel.
I usually also make some sort of chicken or roast (turkey,veal or red meat) using honey in a marinade.
I saw a recipe for a mocha honey cake that’s looks yum!!!!
I like to make honey – ginger carrots. Works great for our symbolic food and a quick delicious side dish.
honey cake!
I put honey in the challah!
Honey glazed carrots sound yummy!
I grew up with my grandmother and mother baking honey cakes to give to neighbors and even freeze and send to family. My father would thaw frozen dough, shape it into a circle, and drizzle honey all over it. I like using it in recipes that call for honey to sweeten the dish, just random RH recipes from random Jewish cookbooks.
I put honey in my challah, extra sweeeeeeet!!!!!!
I follow you on pinterest… Love that sight 🙂

Honey chicken.
I take the chicken from the soup, sprinkle it with onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, & poultry seasoning, & then pour some honey on top, & bake it briefly to brown it a little, & voila; honey chicken.
im following ur pinterest rh board! et looks amazing
My challah has a lot of honey in it and for rosh hashannah after it comes out of the oven, while it’s still hot, I brush extra honey on top as a glaze.
I add honey to baked goods (challah, cake, cookies) and wherever possible in sauces (i.e. honey BBQ chicken or honey mustard dressing).
carrot tzimmes and honey cookies
I will try to make a honey cake again, I hope this time it doesn’t fall.
Honey is super expensive where I live so I limit it to a honey cake and my challah. But I remember one year my mil gave me a huge container from Cosco and I was able to use it in a variety of ways
I liked the Honey National Board and I love following you on Pinterest. My fave is to make Honey-Glazed Salmon. Slice 1 lb. onions and boil them in 2 c dry white wine. Add 2 c tomato juice, 1 c ketchup, 1/2 c honey, 2 TB. Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp. chopped garlic, 1 tsp. salt, and a pinch of ground pepper. After simmering the sauce for 1/2 hour, I marinate 12 6 oz. salmon fillets. At 400 degrees, I baste the salmon, bake, about 12 minutes per inch of thickness. Fish is done when it flakes. Serve hot or cold. Serves 12.

We are following you on pinterest.. you have some yummy ideas…
We have always mixed honey and margarine or butter together and drizzleeedddd it over our challah… for any occasion but speacially for Rosh Hashanah…yuuummmmm
i love honey challah 🙂
I use honey in my no knead challah recipe but my favorite way to use it is my mother’s honey cake recipe. She puts almonds on the top and whiskey in the batter. What’s not to like?
I have heard that you should use local honey from your area since it helps with allergies you may be experiencing. I like squeezing a little honey in my tea instead of sugar.
I like to make a roasted whole chicken sprinkled with spices and then pour honey over it to make the skin really crispy and sweet. It’s delicious!!
I use at least 10 pounds of honey for cooking and baking for RH, but my favorite thing to do is bake chocolate dipped honey cookies, which I distribute to all my friends. A much sweeter version of a New Years Card.
I use honey in my recipes for chicken, meatballs, tzimmes, brisket, challah and honey cake. Some of my recipes are on http://www.gourmania.com. I love everyone’s comments!
I also ‘liked’ the National Honey Board and posted a comment. Happy, healthy sweet wishes!!!
I use a honey wash on my round challah!
Chicken with honey and ginger.
I change my challah recipe and use honey instead of sugar.
I also have a couple of good chicken recipes that call for honey.
