You got it. It is the rainy season here though, so I’ll have to have good weather luck to try it any time soon. Oddly enough, I have a book on keeping bees on hold at the library. Probably wishful thinking, but you never know!

I’d try a lighter honey, since the darker honeys are higher in antioxidants, and therefore “deeper” tasting. Unless, of course, you like a darker caramel.

If you try it and it works, want to write a guest post?

Actually, have you thought of using honey instead of corn syrup? Like in this recipe:

Here’s a whole thread on using something other than corn syrup:
