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

Preheat oven to 400°.
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a medium saucepan combine cranberries, honey, orange zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil and cook covered 3 minutes. Uncover and simmer another 3 minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Cool.
In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In another bowl whisk together egg, melted butter and milk. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix with a spoon until mixture is just combined.
Divide the cranberry mixture between the 12 muffin cups. Carefully spoon the batter on top of the cranberries. Bake for 20-25 minutes until muffins are golden and test done. Let cool in pan on rack for 3 mintues. Invert onto rack to cool.
