Honey Tips

How Honey is Made

To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Directions

Place first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, including reserved pineapple juice. Add lime juice and toss. Set aside.
In a saucepan, over low heat, stir honey in water until dissolved. Add lemon juice. Increase heat and boil until syrupy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow to cool.
When syrup has cooled, pour over fruit. Sprinkle with coconut and toss. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serves: 6-8
