Honey Tips
Honey Is Magic
In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.
Directions
Heat margarine in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, onion, garlic, leek, and celery; dust with flour and stir, reducing heat. Cover and cook until vegetables are soft, approximately 10 minutes. Add chicken stock and beer. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and add vinegar, honey, pepper, bay leaf and lentils. Cover and simmer until lentils are soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Serves 6-8.
