Nuts In Honey

[djzouke]

I have two jars of nuts in honey, one almonds one hazelnuts. They're from Campania. I was looking for suggestions on possible ways to use them in cooking or as topping.

You might try grinding up the hazelnuts in the honey. I got some paste like that in Italy that has a nutella like flavor only much more sublime.

Drizzling the nuts and honey over various kinds of hard Italian cheeses could be incredible.

Mix with yogurt, like the Greeks do (sublime), or put on top of good vanilla ice cream.

Almost sounds like baklava on the hoof. Get some phyllo dough, crunch up the nuts in honey and layer it.

Try them garnishing some Spanish cheeses like Manchego or Garroxta. Mmmmmm....

What about drizzling it over goat cheese? Preferably warm, slightly melting goat cheese, on warm crispy toast ...

grab a spoon and dig in...

They might also make nice adornments, applied judiciously, to crepes or french toast. Maybe the crepes would be nice stuffed with plain or slightly sweetend ricotta.

Crepes sound like a great use. How about rolled in a crepe with cooked apple and a dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon, with or without ricotta.
