Wheat and Honey

plum

Crust: 1 ½ cups flour or a gluten-free flour mix ½ cup nut flour ¼ cup honey ½ cup butter

Filling: ¼ cup corn starch 2 Tbsp honey 1 tsp baking powder 1 lb plums 4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9×13” cake pan.

Stir together the flour and nut flour. Cut honey and butter into the flour until there is no more fine powder and it can be pressed together into dough. Press dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

When the crust is baking, remove the stones from the plums, then combine the corn starch, honey, baking powder, plums, and eggs in a blender. Blend until liquefied.

Pour the filling over the hot crust, and bake for 20-25 more minutes.

2 ½ cups plain bread crumbs* ¼ cup brown sugar 4 Tbsp butter 1 lb apples ½ lb plums 1 tsp ground ginger 3 Tbsp honey 1 cup whipping cream 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Cut the butter into smaller pieces. Place breadcrumbs, butter and ¼ cup brown sugar in a non-stick pan on low heat. Cook gently while constantly stirring until the butter has all melted and it’s dark golden. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.

Core and slice the apples. Combine the apples and honey. Cook, covered, over medium heat until the apples are soft enough to easily poke through with a knife, but before they get mushy. Add the ginger. Mash the apples, or put them in a food processor on a low setting, until it is have pureed and half chunks of apple. Basically make a chunky applesauce.

Pit the plums and cut into fourths. Mash/process them in the same way.

Divide each of those ingredients into thirds.

In a glass dish, layer the ingredients. Starting at bottom: apples, plums, crumbs. Repeat to have 3 sets of layers.

Chill in the fridge until cool, even overnight.

Before serving, whip the cream with the 2 Tbsp brown sugar, and spread that over the top. Garnish with plum jam, if available.

*I made bread crumbs with a mixture of whole wheat bread and white potato bread. Basically any plain bread, biscuits, rolls, etc. will work. The easiest way to make bread crumbs is to tear up pieces of bread and process in a blender/food processor until it is all crumbs.

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.

1 cup chopped nuts 2 pounds plums 1/3 cup honey ½ tsp baking soda 1 ½ Tbsp fresh sage, minced 3 Tbsp arrowroot powder Double batch of pie crust

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Roll out the pie crust, place in pie tin, and chill until ready to use.

Pit the plums. Mix the plums with the rest of the ingredients. Pour into the pie tin and cover with the top crust, crimping the edges of the crusts together. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Let cool before serving.

4 plums, pitted 1 Tbsp arrowroot powder 1 ½ cups water

Puree together the plums, arrowroot and ½ cup water, until it is smooth. Pour into a pot and stir in the remaining water. Cook over medium heat, letting it simmer without coming to a true boil, stirring, until it has thickened.

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.

Makes just under 1 quart.

2 lb damson plums, pitted and cut in half 1 cup honey or mixed honey and pure maple syrup ¼ cup finely grated apple, raw and unpeeled

In a large pot, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring frequently. When it becomes soupy, increase heat and bring to a full boil.

Stir slowly as it cooks for 15 to 20 minutes. It will thicken and darken. Try to get it up to 220° F. (Higher elevations will not get the temperature up that high, so do your best.)

Pour into prepared canning jars, giving at least ¼ inch of headspace. Seal and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath, or 20 minutes at high elevation.
