Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

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

Directions

Whisk together until blended. Pour over bean mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally to distribute marinade. Use slotted spoon to serve.
