Citric Acid Free Paleo Honey Ghee

Rich, golden, and impossibly simple, this three-ingredient spread is the kind of thing you'll want to keep on the counter at all times. Ghee brings a deep, nutty butteriness while raw honey adds natural sweetness, and together they melt into something that tastes far more luxurious than the effort involved. For anyone navigating citric acid sensitivities, store-bought flavored butters and spreads are often a minefield of additives and preservatives — this one sidesteps all of that with completely clean ingredients. A pinch of sea salt is optional but highly recommended for that perfect sweet-savory balance. The whole thing comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop, then cools into a soft, scoopable consistency that's dreamy on toast, roasted vegetables, or a warm sweet potato. It stores beautifully in a jar and makes a thoughtful homemade gift for anyone eating clean or following a paleo lifestyle.
