What's Cookin'?: Hummingbird Nectar

Hummingbird Nectar

I have lots of hummingbirds zipping around my EMPTY feeders so I better get to boiling...

1 part sugar
4 parts water

ALWAYS boil the water first to kill any bacteria, then add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. NEVER add honey because it ferments, and never add food coloring.
Clean your hummingbird feeder regularly to keep it germ-free, mold-free, and flowing smoothly. Use a drop of mild detergent to clean and rinse at least three times.

This is how we got started:

In October 2008 I (Corri) was presenting a Relief Society class on three-month supply and menu-planning. Everybody in attendance expressed interest in the program, but when it came down to actually putting recipes on paper nobody wanted to use their "same old recipes". Somebody said "Let's start a recipe swap once a month", somebody else said "We could feature a recipe in the Relief Society bulletin every week", then finally brilliant and logical LeAnn said "Corri, we could do a recipe blog". Of course, a blog! What better way to get our favorite recipes to everyone? It really was brilliant, and that very night I went home and set up the North Park Ward recipe blog. Since then, we have been merged into the Brigham City Ward and the Sunset Ward. Because of this, there are many more Sisters to be included and many more recipes to be enjoyed.
