Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat butter and olive oil. Add onions and sauté over low heat until soft. Add carrots, apples and curry powder. Cook for a few minutes, stirring well. Add chicken stock, cloves and honey. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until carrots are tender, about 50 minutes. Discard cloves. Add lemon juice. In a blender, puree soup in batches, until smooth. Garnish with chives. Serve hot or cold. Serves 8-10.
