Greetings

I made the Orange Marmalade (Delights for Ladies) about six months ago for
a competition.  Foisted some off on the relatives for christmas (live in a
small household).  I also made a Strawberry Conserve for the same
competition.  Six months on and both still taste wonderful - are kept
refrigerated all the time.

Have found that here in River Haven folks seem to prefer to have plain
butter available - but if a sweet spread is available it won't last long ....

Another alternative to making honey butter if it is available is to used
creamed honey.  You can buy if already creamed or as my mother does just
leave it in the fridge for a really long time with the odd dollop or two
taken out.  You have honey - have found some references for this - will
look up if you would like.
