Giveaway!

Update: Revised instructions to make them clearer.

The long-promised day is here! I've figured out (I think) how to use Rafflecopter, so we're going to have some fun!

On to the big question -- what's the prize???

Pitcairn Island honey and Bee's Wraps

First of all, there is a bottle of Pitcairn Island honey that my honey recently brought back from Fortnum & Mason. If you've ever read about the HMS Bounty (or watched a movie based on the story), you'll recall that Captain Bligh pushed his men to the edge, there was a big mutiny, and the mutineers escaped to a group of small islands in the South Pacific (Pitcairn Islands) where they hoped to live undetected by the British government which would have strung them up.

Pitcairn Island honey label

According to the label, this honey's floral sources include mango, lata, passion flower, guava and roseapple. It describes the flavor as rich and intensely fruity. I have a jar of my own, as well, and I would agree with that assessment. The flavor is intense, rich, warm... to me it tastes strongly of dried tropical fruit and molasses.

Some sources say that Pitcairn Island honey should be stored in the refrigerator once opened because it has a high moisture content and will ferment.

The second item in this prize is a pair of large and medium Bee's Wraps that I picked up earlier this year while I was in Vermont. I don't claim to be a champion when it comes to sustainable living, but I try to do what I can. I love these sustainable, natural wraps. Essentially, they are cotton fabric that has been impregnated with beeswax. You can use them as an alternative to cling wrap to cover a bowl or to wrap a sandwich or some cheese. (BTW, they work better with dry foods and bowls. Do not use them to wrap meat.) Basically, the warmth of your hands softens the wax enough to create a seal. Afterward, all you have to do is rinse the Bee's Wrap with some water (not hot water, though!) Oh, I almost forgot to mention that they smell fabulous!

The total prize value is approximately $50. U.S. and Canadian residents only, please. Follow the instructions below to enter.
