Mead or Honey Wine, the oldest alcoholic beverage known to man, is made from fermented honey and

water. By using unique British Columbia � oral sources of honey, by adding speci� c fruit concentrates, herbs and spices, mead can be � nished in many delightful ways.

1/2 pkg. bacon--cut in small pieces1 large onion--dicedSaute together in Dutch oven pot on low-medium with lid on, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent.

4 cups of cold water1 cup of milk approx.1 med. can diced tomatoes with juice2 med carrots, peeled & chopped4 med potatoes, peeled & chopped bite size pieces 2 large celery sticks with leaves, diced1 can of corn, optional (drained) Simmer soup on low until vegetables are tender with lid on. This will take up to 2 hrs. Stir the chowder every 15 minutes to prevent sticking on the bottom. To thicken, mix � our with water in a mug, blend together and add to soup until you get the thickness you like. I also add some milk to cut the tomato and saltiness from the bacon. Spice with garlic powder, pepper, Mrs. Dash, L&P. I don't add salt---it's in the canned products & bacon. Ronnalea Stacey
