Honey Recipes

Welcome to Runamok!

Our mission is to help you level up your everyday food/drink with the best of what nature has to offer. Maple syrup and honey are both wild-harvested products that we believe work for a better environment – not against it. Combining our culinary passion and innovative approach with only the highest quality ingredients, we’re proud to offer all-natural products that are sustainable, beautifully designed, and, of course, delicious.

Discover Runamok Honey

We’ve taken our maple expertise and carried it over to another of nature’s best sweeteners. Our line of raw varietal, infused, and hot honeys are the perfect way to elevate your favorite foods and beverages. From cocktails and desserts to roasted veggies and spicy drizzles, discover how many delicious ways you can use these all natural honeys. Sustainably sourced from some of the top beekeepers in the United States, we stand by the quality and and purity of our honey line.

Honey in Beverages

Thanks to its consistency, honey lends itself beautifully to beverages. Many honey lovers are familiar with adding it to their morning cup of coffee or tea, but hot drinks aren’t the only place honey acts as a great sweetener. Honey does wonders in smoothies and lassis, lemonades and iced tea, as well as elevating cocktails and mocktails to a whole new level. Use any of our honeys as is or cut them with a water to create a delicious simple syrup. Simply boil a 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of honey, let it cool, and you’ve got a premium simple syrup without all the chemicals, additives and refined sugars you’ll find in many store-bought simple syrups.

Sweet + Savory

All our raw, infused and hot honeys work beautifully in sweet/savory recipes. One of our favorite uses is lathering honey on bread prior to grilling it to make an unbelievably delicious grilled cheese. Drizzle it on roasted veggies to give bland flavors a delightful pop, pair any number of our honeys with cheese for a remarkable charcuterie board addition (try topping a sliced baguette with fig, goat cheese and raw honey) or blend our infused honey into salted butter for an addictive salted honey butter.

Hot + Spicy

Forget about basic ‘hot’ honeys using a blend of generic chilies… our Hot Honeys use single variety peppers to achieve a truly remarkable flavor. From our hot + smoky Morita Infusion and tingly Szechuan Peppercorns to the properly ‘hot’ Chile de Arbol Infused Hot Honey – our hot honeys will deliver a punch to your favorite applications. Drizzle hot honey over pizza, mix into a cocktail (spicy margarita anyone?), drizzle over grilled shrimp or slather on fried chicken.

Beekeeper's Grilled Cheese

Ingredients:

4 slices of bread

3-4oz of cheese, sliced or shredded

Softened butter or mayonnaise

Runamok Raw or Hot Honey

Instructions:

1. Heat a skillet on the stove over medium heat.

2. Spread a layer of butter onto one side of each bread slice (4), then spread a layer of honey right on top of the butter layer.

3. Place two of the bread slices honey-side-down onto the skillet. Top both bread slices in the skillet with an equal amount of cheese, then add the remaining two bread slices on top with the honey side facing out.

4. Flip and grill the sandwiches until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted, then remove from heat (for best results, gently press the sandwiches with a spatula between flips).

5. Cut sandwiches in half for that gooey cheese pull, add some additional honey drizzle, and enjoy.
