2 Tablespoons butter

3 Tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

Rinse sweet potatoes under cold water. Cut into 1 ½-inch thick slices. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil, and boil for 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add slices of sweet potatoes in one layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Add honey, cover, reduce heat to very low and continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes.
