How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

Roast beets (covered in a roasting pan with olive oil, salt, and pepper) for 2 hours on 325 until fork tender. Allow to cool
Slice thick and cut out with a petite heart-shaped cookie cutter, and set aside.
.
Slice bread on an angle, brush with olive oil, and toast on low heat for 5-7 mins or until crunchy
.
Spread a thin layer of strawberry preserves on the “crostini” and then spoon on a thick layer of ricotta cheese.
.
