1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup, onion, chopped
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, shopped
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1½ cups milk
2t baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3½ cups flour
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat add oil and heat. Sauté onion and pepper until onion is translucent. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Remove from heat, transfer to bowl and refrigerate. Combine eggs and milk in small bowl. Set aside. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add milk/egg mixture to flour mixture and mix until well combined. Fold in sautéed vegetables. Add parsley, thyme and crabmeat and mix until combined. In deep pot heat 4 cups canola oil – be sure the pot is only half full of oil – until it reaches 350 degrees with a candy thermometer. Using a ¼-cup measurement, scoop the batter into the hot oil and turn after each fritter becomes golden brown on one side. Remove the fritter from pan and drain on paper towel. Season with Salty’s Seasoning Salt and serve with Apple Honey.
To prepare Apple Honey: Heat all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. Strain and cool.
