Cake: ½ cup honey 2 Tbsp butter 1 egg 1 cup flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/8 tsp salt ½ cup milk or nut milk ¾ cup cherries, pits removed ¾ cup chopped damson plums, pits removed ½ cup nuts, roughly chopped

Sauce: 1 cup cherry juice—I got cherry juice from pitting the cherries (add some water if you can't get a full cup) 2 tsp honey 1 Tbsp corn starch 1 Tbsp butter ½ tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325° degrees. Grease a square 9×9” baking dish.

Beat honey and butter until smooth. Add egg and mix well. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt, then add to mixing bowl alternatively with milk. Stir in cherries, plums, and chopped nuts. Pour batter into buttered pan and smooth out the surface. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and solid.

Make the sauce by combining cherry juice and honey in a small saucepan. In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with a bit of water to make a smooth liquid, then pour into the pan while stirring. Boil for 8-10 minutes, or until thick. Remove from heat and stir in 1 Tbsp butter and vanilla extract.

Pour the sauce over the baked cake and let sit while it cools, to soak in the sauce.

½ cup butter 3 Tbsp sugar 1 ¼ cup fresh or frozen cranberries 1 cup flour ½ cup applesauce ¼ cup honey ½ cup corn meal 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 2 eggs 1 Tbsp minced candied ginger, or ½ tsp ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Melt ¼ cup butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Add cranberries. Let cook, stirring, until the cranberries are all cracked up. Pour this mixture into a greased bread loaf pan (5”x9”), distributing evenly over the bottom.

Stir together flour, corn meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ginger.

Beat together the remaining butter, applesauce, and honey, until the butter is in small chunks. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Slowly beat in the flour mixture, until combined. Spoon into the pan over the cranberries, spreading evenly and smoothing the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before inverting to remove from pan.

12 oz plums 2 Tbsp arrowroot powder 1 cup flour ½ cup almond meal 2 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt ½ cup applesauce 1 egg ½ cup milk or nut milk ½ cup honey ¼ tsp almond extract ¼ cup chopped almonds

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.

Remove the pits and roughly chop the plums. Combine them with the arrowroot powder in a small bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, egg, milk, honey, and almond extract. Whisk to blend thoroughly.

Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Gently place the plum mixture evenly over the entire top of the batter. Since the plums will displace the batter, it is important to make an even layer as you put it down. Put the plums all the way to the edge. Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top.

Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

butter 2 Tbsp honey 3 or 4 ripe pears (whatever will fit in the pan) 1 cup plums, pitted and chopped ¼ cup butter 2 Tbsp molasses 2 eggs, separated ½ cup flour ½ tsp ground ginger 1/8 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8” round cake tin and line the bottom with paper, then spread a thin layer of butter on the paper.

Drizzle the honey in the bottom of the pan. Cut the pears in half and remove the cores. Arrange the pear halves with the cut side down, in a circle in the pan, leaving an open circle in the middle. Put the plums over the pears, concentrating them in the space in the middle and between the pears.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and molasses. Beat in the egg yolks on high speed until creamy.

Stir in the flour, ginger, and salt. Beat the batter on medium speed for about a minute.

Warm the egg whites in a double boiler until about body temperature. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until they form soft peaks. Fold the egg whites into the rest.

Pour the batter over the top of the fruit, spreading it out to cover the fruit.

Bake for 50-60 minutes. It will look juicy and bubbly, but the cake part will be firm to the touch.

Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a serving plate and remove the paper.

Duff:

2 eggs, separated ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup butter ¼ cup cream cheese 2 cups plums, pitted and quartered 1 cup flour ½ tsp salt

Warm the egg whites in a double boiler with a bit of the brown sugar, whisking. When they are warm, remove from heat and beat until stiff peaks form.

Beat egg yolks and a bit of the brown sugar. Cream in the rest of the sugar, cream cheese, and butter. Stir in plums. Fold in the egg whites.

Fold flour and salt into plum mixture. Pour into a well-greased 1-quart mold or bowl, and tie waxed paper loosely over the mold, or cover with foil scrunched around the edges. This is to prevent water from dripping onto the pudding when it condenses on the lid of the steamer. Place mold in steamer and steam for 1 hour or until pudding tests done.

If you don't have a steamer, you can place the mold in a large pot with water. The pot needs to be large enough that the pudding mold doesn't stick out the top. If it floats, that's fine, if not, use something underneath to stabilize it and keep it off the bottom of the pot. Place a well-fitting lid on top of the pot.

When done, remove from steamer and let cool slightly. Loosen the edges of the pudding by running a knife between the pudding and the bowl. Turn out onto the serving plate.

Sauce:

½ cup water ¼ cup honey 2 Tbsp fruit juice (or other sweet, non-dairy drink) 2 tsp arrowroot powder 2 tsp water

Mix ½ cup water and honey in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Boil steadily for 5 minutes. Add fruit juice to taste. Reduce heat. In a cup, mix the arrowroot with 2 tsp water until smooth. Stir into the hot liquid. Increase heat to medium-high. Heat gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly as the sauce thickens. Remove from heat reaches a boil.
