One of my favorite stuffed animals as a child was Tigger, and I have always been a big honey fan, probably because of the Winnie the Pooh stories. I have honey every day, and perhaps Winnie had allergies, too, and needed his "Hunny."
From the Introduction to The Pooh Cook Book:
As a cook you should know that honey is almost twice as sweet as sugar, and yet when you eat it, it doesn't make you want to go on eating sweets. Honey is also healthful, and very good for active people. When used in cooking it keeps food moist and adds a flavor all its won, as you will see when you've made some of the dishes in The Pooh Cook Book. Clover honey is the best all-purpose honey but there are as many flavors, or kinds of honey as there are blossoms on flowers and bushes and trees."

ReplyDeleteSorry Janet, I was out all day. You're all linked up now. Happy Pie Day!!!
ReplyDeleteMy children loved Winnie the Pooh. Actually, I loved the books, too, and we have several in hardcover. I'd love to find this cookbook! I'm so glad Louise linked you up to her Cookbook Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI made a "Hunny Cake" with "Hunny" frosting a couple of years back for Pooh's birthday, and I'm pretty sure it was really popular amongst the youngest of my clan because it was Pooh inspired. Your pie sounds wonderful.
