Honey has a greater sweeting power than sugar. Twelve ounces (Weight) of Honey equals one standard measuring cup. In baked goods, reduce the amount of liquid by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used; add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda for each cup of honey used; reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees to prevent overbrowning. For easy removal spray the measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray or oil before adding honey.

FERMENTED HONEY CRACKERS

Makes about 30 crackers

1 / 2 cup plain whole yogurt
1 / 2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, preferably cultured
2 & 1 / 2 cups freshly ground wheat, spelt or kamut flour
1 / 4 cup fermented honey
1 teaspoon sea salt
unbleached flour to prevent sticking

Leave butter at room temperature to soften. Mix yoghurt, butter, honey and salt together with an electric mixer. Gradually add the freshly ground flour. Form dough into a ball, place in a bowl and cover with a towel. Leave at room temperature for 12-24 hours.

Rub a 9-inch by 13-inch pyrex pan with butter and dust with white flour. Dust your hands with white flour to prevent sticking and then press the dough into the pan. Score with a knife so the dough will separately easily into rectangular “crackers.” Dehydrate by placing in an oven set at 150 degrees until the crackers dry out completely—this will take a day or two. Break into crackers and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

HONEY TOPPING for FERMENTED HONEY CRACKERS

Makes 1 & 1 / 2 cups
1 & 1 / 4 cup good quality cream, preferably raw
1 tablespoon cultured cream, such as creme fraiche
2 tablespoons fermented Really Raw Honey
1 tablespoon liqueur, such as cognac or armagnac

Mix all ingredients together with a wire whisk and place in a glass mason jar. Cover and leave at room temperature overnight, then refrigerate. The cream should become very thick when chilled. Use as a topping for fruit or other desserts.

HONEY-BERRY BEVERAGE

Makes 2 quarts

2 cups blackberries, raspberries or boysenberries, fresh or frozen
1 / 4 to 1 / 2 cup fermented honey
1 / 2 cup whey
2 teaspoons sea salt
filtered water

Place berries in a food processor and process with a little water until smooth. Pass through a strainer to remove the seeds. Blend with honey, whey and salt and place in a 2-quart glass container. Add enough water to fill the container. Cover and leave at room temperature for 2-3 days. Carefully remove any foam that rises to the top. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for several weeks. The sediment will fall to the bottom. To serve, pour out slowly so as not to disturb the sediment.
