Honey Tips
Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods
Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.

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.
