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
Combine all brine ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 4 spears or desired size. Place in a bowl. Tuck cilantro leaves and dill sprigs in between spears. Pour brine over cucumbers. Refrigerate up to four days before serving. Will keep refrigerated for up to one week.
