...I had to go see what this hype was all about. Liz Kennard's jam, owner of Butcher's Bunches jam, is sold at Cox's Honeyland, which, lucky for me, is only about five minutes from my apartment. I have driven past Cox's Honeyland tons of times going in and out of Logan, but I have never thought to stop there...that was a mistake. I walk in and ask the woman - who was super nice - where the jam was. She showed me to an entire wall of locally made jams.
Just a little bit about me: I am probably one of the most indecisive people you will ever meet. An old lady once told me it was because I am a pisces... I think that's a good argument.
So I am standing in front of these jams and they all look delicious... which one am I going to choose? Naturally, I choose the one bottle called "French Kissed" :) Here it is:
Here is the Butcher's Bunches Website, if you want to take a look at some of their flavors:
After I was all jammed out, I turn around, and there is an entire wall of of honey! There is cinnamon, vanilla, orange, raspberry, almond, and so many other kinds. I then see a type of honey I have never seen before called Cream Honey. I ask the nice lady what it is and she says it has the exact same ingredients as regular honey, but it crystallizes differently, so it is thicker than regular honey and has a buttery consistency. She then led me to an area where I could try a bunch of different types. After trying a few, I decided to start safe and go with the Cinnamon Honey, knowing that I will be back to get other kinds another time. Here is the Cinnamon Cream Honey:
Finally, there were a bunch of honey sticks of all different flavors, and they were only 25 cents! I got 4 different kinds: vanilla, original, pink lemonade, and strawberry. My favorites were pink lemonade and vanilla. Here is the strawberry one:
The strawberry honey stick tastes like those gel candies that come in a tube that I used to eat when I was a kid.
After tasting all that honey and eating two honey sticks, I went home and tried both the cinnamon honey and "french kissed" jam. They were delicious. The "French Kissed" jam was really, really, really sweet . I probably should have expected that, since the bottle said, "white chocolate strawberry"- and it was named french kissed :). Needless to say, it was awesome, but don't eat too much or it might make you sick. Butcher's Bunches has another flavor I really want to try called "Monkey Bizzness". It is a chocolate-banana spread - like nutella and bananas? mmm.
The cream honey was also really good. It is hard in the bottle, so you microwave it and it becomes thinner so you can spread it, and then once it cools off, it hardens again- this is my new favorite type of honey! I was expecting it to taste like the cinnamon honey butter at Texas Roadhouse, it doesn't. I like Texas Roadhouse's butter better than this, but the cream honey is better for you than honey butter. This honey tastes more like christmas than the Texas Roadhouse butter, and it is sweeter. I still want to go back and try some of the other kinds, though, they all looked really good.
Here is Cox's Honeyland, it is just a cute little place on the right hand side of main street before entering Logan. They also have homemade fudge!
Here is where it is located:
