I was looking for an alternative sweetener for my teas and this fit the bill perfectly. So far that's exclusively what I've been using it for, but with its clean flavor I bet it would go great in absolutely everything. It's a bit too sweet for me to eat it by itself. If you have a sweet tooth you may think differently. Try it!

Never thought I would like a honey as much as Tupelo, but this one is just delicious. Will definitely order a larger jar.
My fiance bought the 3oz jar when we were visiting Savannah and he is obsessed. So much so that I just ordered him another jar despite living near a Farmer's Market with plenty of local honey. Also a little bit goes a long way - he is still working through the first jar. He would highly recommend!
Saw Palmetto Honey
Details
Description
Honeybees make Saw Palmetto Honey from Serenoa repens, a short palm tree topped by an enormous crown of fan-shaped leaves. If you've been anywhere in Florida or along the coast of Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia or southern South Carolina, you've probably seen it.
Saw Palmetto Honey is the oldest known honey in the Sunshine State and is thought of as a hidden treasure in those parts. It is packed with enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, acids, and phytonutrients, making it good for our digestive and immune systems. This can be said for all high-quality honey, but darker honeys can contain up to 20 times more nutrients than lighter honeys. Some believe Saw Palmetto Honey rivals Manuka Honey for antimicrobial effectiveness.
Saw Palmetto Honey is a light to deep amber in color. It is full-bodied, citrusy, smoky, with woody overtones. You might even taste a little caramel in there. Its boldness and complexity make it a great complement to cooked or cured meats and salty, hard cheeses. Most importantly, it's the perfect sweetener for the South's signature drink, Sweet Tea.
