Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 For those who find VCO hard to get down the hatch...I have found the cure. I've just discovered by accident the best ever spread for toast using VCO. You put 3 tablespoons of VCO in a small shallow bowl with 1 tablespoon of your favourite honey. Here in Australia we have whats called leatherwood from Tasmania and its the best honey ! So you have all these in a bowl...then put this in the freezer.You wait 3 min till it just starts to solidify.Honey and oil dont mix at room temp...so when the VCO is nearly totaly solid...you mix it properly which it will do...and both become one. Then back in the freezer for another 2 mins.Dont let it go REALLY solid,just solid enough to spread it well like thick butter. This is the best creme-VCO-honey spread I have ever had(and I used to keep bees)..it just melts in your mouth and it TOTALLY de'lish on toast!! I will never find VCO hard to eat again ! I will now live on toast FOREVER ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I think Tasmania is the only place in the world where the leatherwood tree is...and would you believe it,the damn Tasmanian Goverment is allowing logging to go places where there is rare old leatherwood trees,and these are being chopped down with old growth trees. They have just signed a new contract for woodchipping that will make sure this will happen. WOODCHIPPS for trees 100's of years old! Bl**dy makes me sick. This means that in about 20 years...if that...leatherwood honey will be rare. Bee keepers have been protesting for some time,but are not being listened to. They say that in 10 years,bee keeper numbers will be cut by 75% because there wont be enough trees to go around ! This is a huge issue in Tasmania,but the goverment just wont listen. They got in at the last election on the promise that the new woodchipping contract would be signed ensuring jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
