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 bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons honey, rum, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Slice bread into 8 (3/4–inch thick) slices. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add butter. Dip bread slices in egg mixture to coat. Place in heated skillet. Cook about 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove to a warm oven to keep hot. Continue until all bread slices are cooked.
Warm honey and cranberries in a small pan. To serve place two slices of bread on each plate. Drizzle with warm honey.
