Submitted by Teddys Mommy

"I picked this up at Beekman & Beekman website. They offer "pure varietal honeys". http://www.beekmanandbeekman.com/ It sounded SO good I wanted to save it for later! Prep time includes 3 hour marination time (it says 2-4 I picked 3 LOL) as well as how long I think it'll take to do the other stuff."
