Chilled Banana Pops

[40 Minutes]

There are many different kinds of honey. Most types of honey are named after flowers from which they are made. Clover, orange blossom, and sage are the most popular types of honey. A jar of honey can be stored for up to 6 months as long as it is in a tightly sealed jar and in a cool dry place. If honey is refrigerated, it will become gooey and grainy. To restore honey, place the open jar in a shallow pan of water over low heat for about 15 minutes. Add honey to this banana pop recipe for a unique sweet taste.
