Our Honey Beurre Blanc Sauce is a variation on the traditional Beurre Blanc, a classic base sauce in French cuisine.

By adding Burleson’s Clover Honey we give the sauce a distinctive sweetness. Adding heavy cream to the sauce is also a variation from the classic recipe. Including this cream, however, makes the cooking process more forgiving. Another key to success with this sauce is making sure that you start with cold butter.
