Salted Honey Custard Pie
Ingredients
For Pie
1 store-bought or prepared pie crust
4 large egg yolks, beaten
2 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream (or whole milk)
1 1/3 cup Sue Bee® honey
1/3 cup cornstarch
½ tsp salt
2 tsp real vanilla extract
¼ tsp baking soda
Course flake sea salt to finish
Honey Whipped Cream
2 cups heaving whipping cream
½ tsp real vanilla extract
2 tbsp Sue Bee® honey
Directions
For Pie
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine cream (or milk), honey, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
Once the mixture comes to a boil and begins to thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove from the heat.
Temper hot mixture into beaten egg yolks a few tablespoons at a time, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the egg yolks. After about half the hot mixture has been added, pour in the rest all at once. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine. (Strain if an exceptional smooth texture is desired.)
Pour custard into pie crust, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until custard begins to brown and a toothpick slides out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven. Sprinkle with course flake sea salt and allow to cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the pie as needed.
Top with honey whipped cream, garnish with fresh berry and serve.
Honey Whipped Cream
Add heavy cream to the chilled bowl of your stand mixer, if using, or a large stainless steel bowl if using a hand mixer.
Mix on medium speed until cream begins to thicken slightly.
Add honey and vanilla extract, and reduce speed to medium low.
Mix until soft peaks begin to form for a very soft, delicate whipped cream, or a bit further for a slightly thicker, firmer whipped cream.

Honey Bottle Nighttime Bowling
One of the best parts of summer is when the sun goes down, the temperature cools and the fireflies come out to play. Whether you’re having friends over or need to keep the kids entertained, nighttime bowling is the perfect summer evening game. Forget the ugly bowling shoes and the over-priced alleys. In just 10 minutes, using things from around the house, you have a fun game for the whole family!
Things you’ll need:
– 6 empty Sue Bee® honey bottles
– 6 glow sticks (short and thick ones are best for this project)
– 1 ball heavy enough to knock down the bottles (e.g., softball)
– Paper and pencil to keep score
Instructions:
1. Make sure your Sue Bee® honey bottles are cleaned out; remove the labels by running them under hot water.
2. Fill bottles with water, leaving about 1 inch at the top.
3. “Crack” and shake your glow sticks to activate the chemicals.
4. Place the glow sticks in the bottle; replace lid.
5. Set up outside on a level patio, playground, grassy area or driveway; 3 pins in the back, 2 pins in the middle, 1 pin in the front, approximately 4-6 inches apart.
6. Grab your “scoreboard” and you’re ready to play!
Bowling rules can be sort of challenging for younger kids so to make it easier, try the following.
Rules:
– For each game, play 10 frames.
– During each frame, each player should try to knock down as many pins as possible.
– Players get to roll the ball twice for each turn. If the player knocks down all the pins, that person only rolls once that turn.
– Players receive 1 point for each pin they knock down.
– When you complete all 10 frames, add up everyone’s points to see who got the highest score.
Be sure to remind everyone about the importance of good sportsmanship and then let the games begin! Nighttime bowling is a simple, inexpensive activity that you can do in the privacy of your own backyard. Let us see your nighttime bowling photos by sharing them with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
