Honey Tips

How Honey is Made

To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Directions

Sauce:
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Spoon ice cream into a large bowl to soften, stirring occasionally. As soon as it is soft enough, gently fold in 1/2 cup of the cherry sauce. Spoon into pie shell. Cover and freeze at least 3 hours.
To serve, remove pie from freezer. Let soften 5 – 10 minutes. Slice pie and top with cherry sauce.
