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.
Directions
Cherries:
Place cherries in a bowl. Drizzle honey on top and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain any juices into a small saucepan. Whisk in cornstarch and cook over medium high heat until thickened. Add cherries and stir gently. Set aside to cool.
Shortbread:
Preheat over to 375°.
Cream together butter and honey. Beat in flour. Add remaining ingredients and beat until combined. Form into a ball and chill for 30 minutes. Using your fingers, press dough evenly into the bottom of a 9 inch tart pan. Cover dough with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
Custard:
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat whisking constantly until thickened. Cool in refrigerator.
