Where do you get your honeysuckle blossoms from? I know there are different types of honeysuckle (some which are toxic).
We have honeysuckle that grows near our house and in our backyards, so that’s what I use. The berries on the honeysuckle bush are what are poisonous, not the blossoms. This recipe does not use the berries, as I wouldn’t recommend ingesting them – but the nectar and blossoms are fine.
Highly recommend trying this. SO delish!
