Today Colin, Jean, Mick and I are manning the Dartford Beekeepers stall in the main exhibition tent. It's just as well that we're in the tent as it poured with rain yesterday and the skies are threatening us with more today.
Notwithstanding the "cats and dogs" we had a good day. Visitors could sample our produce, Blackberry and Elderberry Mead, Colin's honey, Kevin's Honey cake and Lip balm. Bill and Colin offered honey for sale and there was such a demand that Colin ran out! The Mead and Honey cake disappeared at a tremendous rate and proved to be especially popular with the kids, (the cake that is). By popular demand here's the Recipe -
6oz Honey
5 oz Butter
3 oz Light Muscavado sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
7 oz self raising flour
Heat the butter, Honey and sugar in a saucepan until it melts into a nice brown syrup and let it cool a little.
Mix in the flour and beaten eggs.
Pour the mixture into a buttered and lined 7" tin.
Bake at gas mark 3 for 40-45minutes.
