Wheat and Honey

honey

½ cup sour cream ¼ tsp baking soda 1 egg, beaten ¼ cup oil 3 Tbsp milk ¼ cup honey 2 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt ½ cup chopped hazelnuts extra honey ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Stir together the baking soda and sour cream in a small bowl. Stir in the egg, oil, milk, and honey.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and stir until it is just moistened. Stir in the hazelnuts.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until it is together and smooth.

Place a piece of baking parchment on a baking sheet and place the dough on, pressing it into a large circle about 1” thick. Drizzle more honey on top, then sprinkle with nutmeg. Cut the circle into 8 or 12 wedges.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Filling: 6 pears 6 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch ½ tsp ground nutmeg

Topping: 1 cup flour 2/3 cup rolled oats 6 Tbsp butter 6 Tbsp sugar

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Chop the pears into chunks, removing the cores. Stir together chopped pears, honey, and arrowroot in an 8” square pan.

Mix the flour, oats, and sugar in a bowl and rub in the butter until it is thoroughly combined, with a texture like soft crumbs, and no dry powder. Spread evenly over the fruit.

Bake 35-45 minutes.

6 carrots 1 Tbsp olive oil juice & zest of one lime 1 tsp honey ½ tsp salt 1 tsp dried cilantro

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Cut the tops off the carrots. If they are large, cut them into halves or quarters lengthwise.

Combine the other ingredients to make a dressing and toss the carrots in the dressing to coat them. Place carrots on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. The carrots retain a tiny bit of crunch when they're done.

2 ¾ cup flour 4 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp ground nutmeg 6 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp honey 1 ¼ cup milk 2 Tbsp raisins 2 Tbsp minced candied ginger Nutmeg Poppyseeds

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Stir together the flour, baking powder, and nutmeg. Cut the butter into small cubes, then cut into the flour until it's crumbly. Stir in the honey and milk. Stir in the raisins and ginger.

Line a baking sheet with parchment and dump the dough onto it. With wet hands, form the dough into a large circle. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg and poppy seeds. Cut the circle into eighths.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

Crust: ¾ cup butter 2 cups flour ½ cup water ¼ tsp salt

Cut the butter into the flour until it's crumbly and there's no dry powder.

Dissolve the salt into the water, then stir it into the flour and butter. Stir to make a soft dough. It will be a lot like cookie dough.

Stick it in the fridge to chill until hardened.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Filling: 5 cups chopped apples 1/3 cup honey 1 Tbsp arrowroot powder, flour, or corn starch ½ tsp allspice ½ cup redcurrant jelly*

Stir together the apples, arrowroot, allspice, and honey.

Roll out half the crust dough on a piece of waxed paper dusted with flour. Use flour as necessary on top and bottom to prevent sticking. Roll to 1/8”.

Dust the pie tin with flour. Use the waxed paper to flip the crust over into the pie tin. Trim the edges and fill in any holes.

Spread the redcurrant jelly in the bottom of the crust, then put in the apple mixture.

Roll out the rest of the crust dough to make the top crust. Do whatever type of design you want.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft.

*If you have fresh or dried redcurrants available to you, make a quick sort of jam by cooking them with water and honey, and mashing them up. Alternatively, you could stir the plain redcurrants in with the apples instead of using jam.

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.

3 cups damson plums, pitted and coarsely chopped ½ cup honey or a mix of honey and pure maple syrup 1/3 cup lemon juice 2 Tbsp finely grated apple, raw and unpeeled

Combine the plums, honey, lemon juice and apple in saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat, but maintain boil. Stir and mash with a potato masher for about 15 minutes, or until thickened. Pour into prepared jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, or 20 minutes for high altitude.

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.
