How to use

Manuka Honey’s not-too-sweet character plays well in savory dishes—add it to marinades for chicken and pork, use as a glaze for baked ham or drizzle over roasted root vegetables seasoned with dukkah. Or on the sweeter side, swirl this herbal honey through Greek yogurt and top with roasted figs and chopped pistachios, make your own sweet n’ nutty granola bars or simply slather on a warm scone with butter.
