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

Marmalade:
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and sauté over a medium heat 15 – 20 minutes until onions are very soft, stirring occasionally. Add honey, wine and vinegar. Continue cooking and stirring until liquid has evaporated, about 12 minutes. Stir in fresh thyme and pepper. Remove from heat. Cool and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Yields: 2 cups
Bratwurst:
Place bratwurst in a large skillet. Add beer and honey. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover and simmer on low heat 15 minutes. Remove brats from beer. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
Prepare grill. Cook meat, turning often until browned on all sides. Place in rolls, top with onion marmalade.
Serves: 4-6
