Honey Tips
Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods
Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.
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.
