Crust: 1 ¼ cup flour ¼ tsp salt ¼ cup cream cheese ¼ cup butter about ¼ cup cold water

Filling: 2 ½ cups seedless grapes, different varieties, stems removed 1 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp flour 1/3 cup honey

Stir together flour and salt. Cut in cream cheese and butter until it forms fine crumbs. Sprinkle in some of the water and shake the mixture in the bowl. Remove large clumps that form and continue until it is mostly formed into large clumps. Press the clumps and the remaining crumbly dough together, forming a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill.

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Place the grapes in a pan over medium heat. Use a potato masher to gently mash the grapes and separate the skin and pulp. Let cook until it's about to simmer, and the colors change.

Meanwhile, stir together the honey, flour, and butter. Add the grapes when done, stirring until the butter is melted.

Roll out the crust onto a piece of plastic wrap, waxed paper, or thin cloth. Roll into a thin circle and place into a pie tin. Cut off excess around the edges. Pour the grape filling in. The filling bubbles and expands while baking. Leave some room for it so it doesn't overflow and burn. Use extra pie crust to create a crumbled topping.

Bake for 25 minutes (or until the crust is done).

2 ½ lb rhubarb 8 cups water ½ cup honey

Cut rhubarb into 1” pieces. Cook in hot water until soft (not boiling). Strain out the rhubarb pieces. Stir in the honey. Chill.

You can add more honey to taste. I found that ½ cup was sufficient, as it sweetened it without overwhelming the rhubarb with honey flavor. However, you can add more honey if you want.

The rhubarb can be used again in recipes that call for cooked rhubarb. I made mine into a crumble, but it was more mushy than it would have been normally because it had already been cooked. A simple dessert is to stir honey or sugar and cinnamon into the rhubarb.

Steep the lavender buds in the water for at least 10 minutes. Strain out and discard the buds. Stir in the honey to dissolve while the water is still warm. Stir in the lemon juice. Add any more water if necessary to make 2 quarts. Add the dry ice. Serve after allowing to carbonate for about 15 minutes, or to store, wait for all the dry ice to dissolve, then store in an airtight container in the fridge.

4 cups flour 2 cups warm water 1 Tbsp salt 2 tsp yeast ¼ cup honey

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2 tsp honey in the water. Stir in the yeast. When it is starting to foam, add 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing completely after each addition. On the third cup, add in the salt as well. Dump the fourth cup of flour onto the clean counter, then dump the dough on the flour and knead it. You may not need to knead in all of the flour, just until the dough is no longer sticky clumps. Knead the dough until it is smooth and stretchy. Coat the inside of the bowl with oil, coat the outside of the dough with oil, put it in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled.

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle between ½” and ¾” thick. Drop globs of honey randomly onto the dough. Don't spread it in an even layer. Roll up the dough into a log and form into a loaf. Grease the inside of the bread pan and put in the dough. Cut a slash along the top of the loaf. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Put the bread pan in the oven, then set the temperature for 350° F. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown & the loaf sounds hollow when you tap the bottom.
