Honey Tips

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

Line a broiler pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Coat the plum tomatoes lightly with the 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place on pan and broil about 10-14 minutes until skin of tomatoes begin to blacken.
Transfer tomatoes to a food processor and process, burned skins and all, until smooth. Set aside.
Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions and garlic and sauté about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until golden.
Pour pureed tomatoes into the pan along with honey and 2 cups of water. Stir in cumin, paprika, oregano and salt. Add yellow squash, zucchini, string beans and pepper chunks. Bring to a simmer and cook covered for 15 minutes.
