Moroccan Spiced Honey: seeded honey with moroccan spices

Honey gone to seed, honey got hot. A flavor explosion of moroccan spices, seeds, and honey to add to top your briouats (that’s a phyllo triangle filled with cheese or meat or…) but is also an unexpected twist on honey topped soft cheeses.

Add this to the list of condiments to have on hand. Yes, one shelf of my refrigerator is just a charcuterie plate waiting to happen. Pickled peppers, spiced honey, an assortment of cheeses, an odd sauce or two.
