Honey Sauce Recipes
Honey is a food which is made from honey bees using nectar from the flowers. The sweetness in the honey comes from monosaccharide fructose and glucose. Most micro-organisms don’t live long in the honey. Honey has a very long history. It ascends for more than 10000 years. In ancient times honey was used to sweeten desserts and tea. There are different kinds of honey like blended, monofloral, polyfloral and honeydew. This classification is made by its flower source. If we classificate the honey by packaging there is crystallized honey, pasteurized honey, raw honey, strained honey, ultra filtered honey, ultra sonicated honey, whipped honey, dried honey, comb honey and chunk honey.
