Stella and Dan Scott bring a lovely Serbian tradition to us: slatko. Slatko, a sweet, cooked fruit syrup, is served by the spoonful (with a glass of water) to honored guests when they enter the home. Chestnut Hill puts a special twist on the tradition: honey mixed with fruits and nuts. Stella combines local clover and wildflower honeys with local almonds, walnuts, pecans, cherries, apricots, plums, blueberries and other fruits to make this very special treat. We can't wait to get a jar (or two or three) home! Of course you can offer it to honored guests in your home, but we plan to keep a bit for ourselves -- it'd be great on granola, yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, waffles.... How about this? Simple, with toasted baguette and a little bit of cheese. Delicious! In Serbia, the combination of honey, fruits and nuts is regarded as an aphrodisiac, and is said to be helpful for cholesteral. As if you needed more to recommend this treat! They'll also have plain clover and wildflower honeys available. Make sure to stop by and sample Chestnut Hill honey at the Market tomorrow. We know you're going to love it!
