Clarks the Honey and Maple syrup people have just launched a new clear honey and I have been sent a jar to have some fun with. A blend of British honey with some blossom and acacia honey to keep it clear, this is a great honey for the store cupboard, personally I love the bee on flower design on the label, the honey itself was great in this recipe for monster honey biscuits, monster as they are so huge.
Really tasty with a nice honey flavour these biscuits are sure to be popular with all the family and keep well in an airtight tin (not that they will last that long !). Clarks Honey has a lovely website as well with lots more serving ideas for this lovely versatile honey.

What you do
- Melt the butter, sugar and honey in a saucepan over a low heat, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
