featured in recipes such as Papa's Salad with Clementines, Pork
Tenderloin with Orange Blossom Honey-Mustard, Coconut Macaroons
with Dried Cherries, Laurey's Sweet Potato Salad with Sourwood
Honey, Vermont-style Summer Squash Casserole, and Grilled Summer
Peaches. From Winter to Summer, Spring to Autumn, honey adds a

Cookbook gives honey bees their due with informative sidebars about
bees and beekeeping. Readers will learn why bees make honey, how
it's harvested and what they can do to help the bee population.
