“It was going to be one of Rabbit’s busy days. As soon as he woke up he felt important, as if
everything depended upon him. It was just the day for Organizing Something, or for Writing
a Notice Signed Rabbit, or for seeing What Everybody Else Thought About It.”
—The House at Pooh Corner

Since this is a Winnie-the-Pooh recipe, it felt appropriate to sweeten
this tribute to Rabbit’s garden with a touch of honey. However, maple

syrup is a delicious, seasonally appropriate alternative.
