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°. Lightly brush eggplant and bell pepper with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil. Place in a baking pan. Bake approximately 30 minutes turning vegetables occasionally, until eggplant is very soft. Remove from oven. Cool. Peel peppers and eggplant. Place in a food processor with remaining ingredients, including 4 tablespoons olive oil. Pulse, until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate. When ready to serve cut pitas in quarters. Fold open. Brush lightly with oil. Toast under broiler, until just golden. Serve with eggplant dip.
