Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
Directions
Preheat oven to 300°. Spray a 10-inch tart pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Crust:
With an electric mixer, beat together butter, honey and almond extract. Add flour and blend until mixture forms a dough. Gather into a ball and place in the prepared tart pan. Using your fingers, spread dough evenly onto bottom and up sides of pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on rack.
Filling:
In a bowl, beat all filling ingredients until mixture forms stiff peaks. Spread filling evenly over cooled crust.
