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

Cut sprouts in half lengthwise. Peel and core apples. Cut them in 1/2 inch cubes.
In a large skillet, heat oil and butter. Add chopped onion and apples. Saute 5 minutes until apples soften. Add Brussels sprouts and saute, stirring gently, for about 4 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat, cover and simmer until sprouts are fork tender, about 5 minutes.
To serve, spoon sprouts into a bowl along with pan juices.
