Honey Flavors and Colors
Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onion slices and cook stirring occasionally until onions just begin to brown. Add turnips, carrots and pumpkin pie spice. Continue cooking about 10 minutes. Add broth, honey, raisins, zucchini and ginger. Simmer covered another 10 minutes. Stir in cheese, garbanzo beans and couscous. Cover, remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Spoon onto plates and sprinkle with almonds and scallions.
