2 cups water
1 cup wild rice

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
Bring chicken broth and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in wild rice, cover and simmer 45 minutes stirring occasionally. Drain rice and set aside.
Cut leeks into 1/2-inch slices. Cover with water and stir to remove dirt trapped between the leaves. Drain. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet and saute leeks until almost tender. Add mushrooms and cook until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in honey. Stir leeks into rice. You may now chill rice until ready to serve; or add pecans and cranberries now and serve.
If chilled, reheat rice before serving and toss in pecans and cranberries.
