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 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer in prepared pan. Bake 30 minutes.
Meanwhile in a small bowl stir together applesauce, honey, cinnamon and thyme.
Reduce heat to 300 &deg. Turn chops and spoon applesauce mixture on top. Continue baking another 20 minutes or until chops are no longer pink inside.
