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
In a large pot of boiling water cook trimmed brussels sprouts for 3 minutes. Drain well.
In a large non-stick skillet heat honey, lemon juice and zest. Bring to a boil and continue cooking 5 minutes. Stir in butter. Add shallots and brussels sprouts. Stir. Pour in 1 cup water, cardamom, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking over a medium high heat until most liquid is gone and vegetables are glazed, stirring often. Spoon into a bowl and top with lemon zest.
