Honey Tips

Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods

Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.

Directions

In a medium saucepan bring the first 5 ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 3 minutes stirring occasionally.
In a heavy skillet heat oil until just hot. Add mustard seeds and saute for about 3 minutes. Stir in cabbage and peppers, saute for 3 minutes. Add vinegar mixture and simmer 1 minute. Drain vegetables through a sieve set over a medium saucepan.
Place vegetables in a large bowl. Bring reserved liquid to a boil and simmer about 10 minutes until reduced to 1/4 cup. Pour over vegetables, toss and chill at least one hour.
