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

In a medium saucepan bring the first 5 ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 3 minutes stirring occasionally.
In a heavy skillet heat oil until just hot. Add mustard seeds and saute for about 3 minutes. Stir in cabbage and peppers, saute for 3 minutes. Add vinegar mixture and simmer 1 minute. Drain vegetables through a sieve set over a medium saucepan.
Place vegetables in a large bowl. Bring reserved liquid to a boil and simmer about 10 minutes until reduced to 1/4 cup. Pour over vegetables, toss and chill at least one hour.
