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

Preheat oven to 400°. Cut four 12-inch lengths of aluminum foil. Spray top of foil with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut leeks and carrots into 1-inch diagonal slices. Divide evenly between foil. Sprinkle chopped mushrooms over leeks and carrots.
In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients until blended. Spoon evenly over vegetables. Fold foil over and crimp edges tightly making sealed packages. Place on a cookie sheet.
Bake 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
