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 350°. Spray a 9-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spay.
Crust:
In a food processor combine flour and sugar. Add butter and pulse until moist clumps form. Press dough onto bottom of prepared pan.
Bake about 15 minutes or until just golden.
Topping:
In a small saucepan combine all topping ingredients. Heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook 2 minutes.
Pour over crust. Bake about 10 minutes or until topping bubbles and is light caramel in color.
Let cool completely before cutting into 2-inch squares.
