It is getting cold outside. There is nothing better that stay under the blankets and enjoy quiet time with the family. But it is also the time to entertain and have little parties with family and friends.

I do not know about you, but I usually stress out about the preparation for the food for our parties. Just thinking what to make and getting together all the ingredients is exhausting. So, when I heard that the National Honey Board had developed a program called Honey + 4 I was very interested.

Honey + 4? Honey + 4 ingredients! Really, that's IT.
The National Honey Board and food expert Ericka Sanchez have created a tasty and clever menu that will impress your guests and take your party from casual reunion to holiday soirée. Savory, sweet and ever-so presentable, these flavorful nibbles are as easy on the eyes as they are on the palate!

Cheese-Stuffed Figs with Peppery Honey Port Syrup
Ingredients:
2 tbsps honey
8 fresh figs
8 tsps cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup ruby port
5 black peppercorns

Preparation:
In a small saucepan, heat port, honey and peppercorns over low to medium flame.  Bring to a boil and continue cooking until the consistency becomes syrupy; this should take approximately 2 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Remove peppercorns.

Cut the stem off of each fig. Then cutting the fig crosswise, gently open them like a flower.  Place a teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each “flowered” fig and drizzle with honey port syrup.

Mini Buñuelos with Honey Cream
Ingredients:
1 cup honey
8, 8-inch flour tortillas
Oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil)
1 cup crème fraiche
1 tsp cinnamon



Preparation:
Cut out each tortilla with 4"-inch round cookie cutters. Fold each side of the cut out piece over on opposite sides so as to allow both folds to meet in the center, forming a pocket. Heat 1-inch of cooking oil in large skillet. Once hot, fry each tortilla pocket until golden brown. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool. Next, place ½ cup honey in a small bowl. Once tortillas are cool, carefully brush each one with honey.

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the remaining ½ cup of honey until easily stirred. Add crème fraiche and cinnamon. Continue stirring until all ingredients have thoroughly combined. Serve buñuelos drizzled with the honey cream or on the side for dipping.

Higos Rellenos de Queso Crema con Almíbar de Miel y Oporto a la Pimienta
Ingredientes:
2 cucharadas de miel
8 higos frescos
8 cucharaditas de queso crema, a temperatura ambiente
1/3 taza de oporto tipo ruby (ruby port)
5 granos de pimienta negra

Preparación:
Calienta el oporto, la miel y los granos de pimienta en una sartén pequeña a fuego bajo-mediano. Cuando hierva, deja cocinar hasta que la preparación tome la consistencia de almíbar; aproximadamente 2 minutos. Quita del fuego y deja que se enfríe. Retira los granos de pimienta.

Corta el cabito de cada uno de los higos. Después, haz un corte en cruz y ábrelos cuidadosamente en forma de flor. Coloca 1 cucharadita de queso crema en el centro de cada “higo en forma de flor” y rocía con el almíbar de miel y oporto.


Picture

Ingredientes:
1 taza de miel
8 tortillas de harina, de 8 pulgadas
Aceite de canola o vegetal para freír
1 taza de crème fraiche
1 cucharadita de canela



Preparación:

Corta cada tortilla con un cortador de galletas redondo de 4 pulgadas. Dobla cada costado de la tortilla sobre el lado opuesto uniendo ambas partes en el centro, formando una “bolsita”. Calienta 1 pulgada del aceite en una sartén grande. Cuando esté caliente, fríe cada “bolsita” hasta que tome un tono dorado. Colócalas sobre toallas de papel para escurrir el aceite excedente. Deja enfriar. Luego, coloca ½ taza de miel en un recipiente pequeño. Una vez que estén frías las “bolsitas,” pincela cada una delicadamente con miel.

En una sartén pequeña, calienta la ½ taza restante de miel a fuego bajo, hasta que puedas revolverla con facilidad. Agrega la crème fraiche y la canela. Sigue revolviendo hasta integrar perfectamente todos los ingredientes. Sirve los buñuelos con un poco de crema a la miel arriba o colócala a un costado para que sea un dip.
