Apples: cut into smallish pieces. Cheese: choose sharp cheese, like goat cheese or sharp cheddar. Cut into small pieces, smaller than the apple pieces, or crumble. You want about half the amount of the apple. Drizzle of honey: I used about 1 Tbls. per apple in the salad. Sprinkling of herbs: choose mild, sweetish herbs, like fennel seed or leaves, poppy seed, lavender buds, or mint.

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.
