Add barley and reduce heat to low setting, so barley bubbles gently. Cook for 45 minutes or until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed. In large skillet, saute onions and celery in 2 tb water for about 2 minutes over medium high heat, add mushrooms and continue to saute for 3 minutes to release juices. Add 1/4 c water, diced apple, raisins and pepper; simmer, until apples are soft about 20 minutes. Stir barley into apple mixture and simmer for 3 minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat. Stir in honey and lemon juice, fluff with a fork, replace cover and let stand until serving. Just before serving, sprinkle pilaf with fresh parsley and if desired garnish with freshly cut red apple wedges. Quite good, will definitely make again.
