Around 400 - 450g (16 oz) low fat plain yogurt

Honey Savory Dip

Ingredients:
½ cup honey
½ cup Dijon style mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Pinch black pepper
Cayenne pepper to taste

Method:

For some favourites try:

• Buckwheat honey poured over buckwheat pancakes with country ham


• Fresh blackberries swirled with clover honey over a dollop of vanilla yogurt


• Buttered whole wheat toast dripping with manuka honey


• Fresh peaches sautéed in butter, fireweed or clover honey, a sprinkle of allspice and lemon juice, served over hot waffles.


• Tupelo or lavender honey drizzled over ruby grapefruit halves, run under the broiler for a grapefruit brulee


• Honey Dips for Fruit and Vegetables
  Experiment with the “high in antioxidant” honeys – including buckwheat, thyme, tupelo, and clover – for a variety of flavors
