Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Meatballs: Combine all meatball ingredients. Mix lightly. Shape into small balls. In an ungreased microwave-safe casserole, arrange meatballs in a single layer. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 4 minutes. Add pineapple chunks to meatballs. Let stand while preparing the sauce. Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients including reserved pineapple liquid. In a medium microwave-safe casserole, microwave uncovered on HIGH for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring several times. Add sauce to meatballs. Microwave until heated through (about 4 minutes). Serves: 4-6 (Main Course) or 8-10 (Appetizer).
