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
Preheat oven to 400°. Butter a large roasting pan. Arrange bread in pan in a single layer. Beat milk, eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg in medium bowl. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover pan and refrigerate until liquid is absorbed by bread, about 1 hour, turning once. Bake French toast in the same pan, about 15 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 15 minutes, or until tester inserted into center of bread comes out clean. To prepare syrup, stir orange juice and cornstarch in saucepan until smooth. Add honey, stirring over medium heat until thickened. Add butter, lemon juice and orange peel, stirring until butter melts. Serve over French toast. Serves 4.
