HEAT OVEN: Turn the oven control(s) to the desired temperature, allowing the oven to heat thoroughly before adding food. Heating, also called preheating, takes about 10 minutes for most ovens.

HONEY: A natural sweetener produced by bees. The buzz about honey is that it adds distinctive flavor to salads, salad dressings, dips, sauces, beverages and baked goods. Because honey can contain spores of clostridium botulinum, which has been a source of infection for infants, do not feed honey to children less than 1 year old. Honey is safe for persons one year of age and older. Store honey at room temperature; it can be refrigerated but will crystallize more easily and quickly. To make crystallized honey liquid again, heat a saucepan of water to boiling, remove from the heat and place the container of honey in the hot water until the crystals disappear. Or it can be liquefied in the microwave.

HORSERADISH CREAM: A creamy prepared paste of grated horseradish, vinegar, oil and sugar usually served as a condiment.

HULL: Remove the stem and leaves with a knife or huller (strawberries).

HUSK: Remove the leaves and outer shell (corn on the cob).
