Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. Grease muffin tins.
In a small bowl, pour water over cherries. Set aside for 5 minutes. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
To cherries and water, add honey, butter, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour cherry mixture into center and stir until just blended. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake 20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
Yields: 12 muffins.
