Meredith Simmerman says Reney’s Honey Butter started by accident.

“I accidentally got started by picking blackberries one Sunday afternoon, and I came home with about a million blackberries,” Simmerman said. “I had to get creative with them because my freezer was full and I had made all of the normal things — the muffins, the cobblers — so I just decided to get creative and made blackberry honey butter.”
