As I prepare useful sweets with honey

Still our great-grandmothers knew about curative properties of honey, not for nothing it long since was considered as cold No. 1 medicine. Honey contains up to seventy useful substances among which among the first group B vitamins, folic acid, vitamins K, E, magnesium, iron and so forth. Honey - not only the great doctor who guards health and strong immunity but also helps to keep beauty and youth of our skin. By the way, despite the quite high caloric content - about 320 kcal in hundred grams, honey is perfectly acquired by an organism therefore it can be used safely that who carefully keeps the figure.

I very much love honey and my love to it, probably, was descended to the son. Fortunately, it has no allergy to honey therefore I allow to eat it almost every day, but naturally within limits - no more than two-three teaspoons a day. As well as all children, he very much loves sweet, and I of course care for that these sweets were as much as possible useful, but not just comprised a lot of sugar and fast carbohydrates. And when there is free time, try to prepare useful sweets.

Honey paste with dried fruits

Very simple recipe of preparation. For it it is required
- hundred grams of dried apricots
- hundred grams of prunes without stones
- hundred grams of walnuts
- 4-5 tablespoons of honey
- it is a little cinnamon


At will the discretion can change contents of paste in own way. If you love dates, a fig or raisin, add them instead of dried apricots and prunes or just make a rich mix of dried fruits and nuts. For piquancy of taste it is possible to put a lemon dried peel.
I fill in with warm water dried fruits, approximately for 10-15 minutes. This time is enough that they were a little softened and they could be cut easily. Then well several times I wash out and I cut on quite small pieces. For speed of process it is possible to put all ingredients in the blender and in one minute to process everything to homogeneous mass.
Paste is ready. Excellent tasty and nourishing addition to a breakfast. It is possible to eat just like that or to put from above on the warm and crackling toasts. This our favourite winter delicacy.


Honey soft toffees

To make tasty toffees the following ingredients are necessary:
- baked milk of 200 milliliters
- two tablespoons of honey
- sugar of 100 grams (here everything is individual if you love very sweet, it is possible to add 150-200 gr some sugar, I add it absolutely slightly, I have enough honey)
- small pack of vanillin
- 30 grams of good butter (not margarine, and not creamy spread, namely oil)
