These squares are just one of the many tasty treats that can be made using Sourwood honey, naturally flavored with the rare sourwood tree found here in the Great Smoky Mountains.
The recipe is simple and the payoff is delicious! If there is an ingredient you aren’t crazy about (“Mari, I really don’t enjoy dried cranberries. I would much rather have dried boysenberries in my squares…”) feel free to play with the recipes and add your own favorite ingredients.

1 dash Salt
1 cup Oil
2 Eggs
1 Egg White
1/2 cup GSMA Sourwood honey
