pinch salt

4 Tablespoons lemon juice

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Beat egg yolks together until light, about 2 minutes. Mix in grated carrots, almonds, matzo meal, flour and salt until well combined. Add citrus juices, lemon peel and wine. Stir thoroughly.
Beat egg whites with 2 tablespoons honey until stiff. Add remaining honey and beat at high speed until peaks form. Fold 1/3 of egg whites into carrot mixture. When combined, gently gold in remaining egg whites.
