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
Meatballs: Combine all meatball ingredients. Mix lightly. Shape into small balls. In an ungreased microwave-safe casserole, arrange meatballs in a single layer. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 4 minutes. Add pineapple chunks to meatballs. Let stand while preparing the sauce. Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients including reserved pineapple liquid.
