Why you'll love this recipe

✔️ easy to make.

✔️ super affordable!

✔️ delicious every time!!

Ingredients

Honey in jar with drizzler.
The "Honeypot Kit" which include the stick drizzler and lid with a hole is a product Kingsburg Honey sells online and IMO a must have for honey enthusiasts!

For the exact measurements, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. 

  • peanut butter - creamy or crunchy, choose your favorite
  • honey - local raw organic honey if you can find it. Check the farmers markets for availability. To learn why organic honey is better than what you find on the shelf at the grocery store - click here.
  • a good hearty bread, again choose your favorite!

Instructions

A swarm of honey bees in a hive.

This is an overview of the instructions. For the complete directions just scroll down to the bottom!

Pretty sure you don't need an explanation here, but just in-case!

  1. Slice the bread - I always toast it, but that's up to you!
  2. Slather with peanut butter.
  3. Drizzle with honey and enjoy!

Things to know inspecting the hives

Bee Keep lighting smoker to attend to bee hive.
Daren carefully supervises while his son lights the smoker.

Dan and I had the opportunity to tour a local bee keeper, Kingsburg Honey. We had the pleasure of meeting with the owner Daren and his children. It was exciting and informative to see the process of honey farming from start to finish!

It was a warmer than expected day. Because the bees were still active Daren carefully supervised while his son lit the smoker.

A light dusting of smoke triggers reflexes in the bees to "save the hive." They quickly ingest honey which slows them down and makes them less likely to sting.

(This is my less than technical version of the explanation! 😂 ) The entire process was fascinating!

Harvesting Organic Honey

A collage of photos how to harvesting honey from the processing plant.
The bottom right photo is a picture of the centrifuge which spins the honeycomb to extract the honey.

In addition to checking out the hives we got to see some of the process of harvest also. This includes a tour of the processing plant and sampling right from a honeycomb!

The process is fascinating the product amazing and to think it's raw, natural and organic and it's all built by bees! Super cool!

FAQ's

Does peanut butter and honey taste good?

A peanut butter and honey sandwich is the perfect combination of salty, creamy and sweet. It is a great meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Is honey healthier than jelly?

Surprisingly no, the benefits are about the same! Whew.... I'm glad because I do love my jam recipes on the blog! Strawberry, Pomegranate, Orange Jelly - I mean seriously... who would want to give that up!

Have you tasted raw organic honey? Drizzled over the peanut butter, this sandwich is an explosion of flavor. The bright, sweet eruption of sweetness as it touched the roof of you mouth is swoon worthy!

Next time you make a pb&j consider swapping out the jam or jelly for honey instead!

As a blogger there are all kinds of intricate things that you do before you publish a post on your blog.

You start by developing a recipe, researching ingredients or traveling to onsite locations. Next comes photographing the meal, writing a story, the recipe and combining everything together to actually publish a blog.

Additionally before I get started I do keyword research to make sure the topic I'm sharing is time relevant to readers. For instance publishing a hot soup on a 100 degree day isn't always the best decision! 

And as you know, the majority of my meals are quick and easy. And this recipe is a classic!

    Thanks for sharing your trip to Kingsburg Honey with me. I'm fascinated - I didn't know about the "smoking" process. And - yay for PB and honey sandwiches - I gotta admit I usually have a banana - but am gonna try going without it next time.
