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

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and sauté until kernels begin to brown. Add zucchini, salt and pepper. Cook until zucchini begins to brown, stirring often. Add shallots and garlic. Sauté another few minutes. Stir in tomatoes and honey. Cook until tomatoes begin to soften but are still chunky. Stir in basil and capers just before serving.
Meanwhile cook linguine according to package directions. Put in a large shallow bowl. Top with sauce and Parmesan cheese.
