Honeysuckle Nectar

Have you ever tasted a honeysuckle? They are one of life's little treasures and are absolutely delectable. You don't get but a drop to taste, but the drop sends me back to the farm I grew up on with fond memories of my family, summertime as a child, freshly picked fruits and vegetables, grass stains and blue skies.

Next time you run across a honeysuckle bush, pick a flower from the base, not from the petals. Gently pull at the base off of the flower and place a finger at the opening. Squeeze the flower from open end, down the long neck, all the way to base and the nectar should cover the tip of your finger.

Bon appétit.
