Honey, berries, dairy, and grains were important parts of the Iron Age diet.
It is distinctly possible that Queen Boadicea enjoyed something like this Honey Raspberry Crumble, without the ice cream of course.
Ingredients
- 2 pints raspberries
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
- 1 stick unsalted butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, drizzle raspberries with 1/4 cup of the honey honey. Sprinkle with 4 tablespoons flour and toss. Transfer fruit to an 8- by 8-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix remaining flour, honey, and butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture forms large, crumbly lumps. Sprinkle over berries. Bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes
