I was under the impression that nonfat cottage cheese or ricotta might be
allowed for those working to lower their cholesterol. If so, you could do
something like this: Line up several spoons with a spoonful of cottage
cheese in each one, and drizzle a different honey over each.

Honey is also a terrific tea-sweetener, and honey on cornbread is wonderful.
A honey-tomato curry sauce is apparently quite popular in Japan. Honey is
used in many salad dressings. If you've got a LOT of honey (which doesn't
really appear to be the case, unless the samples were quite large), you can
stew dried fruit in it; apricots and figs respond particularly well to that
treatment.
