Pine Cone Syrup / Honey

This deliciously fragrant syrup is a traditional Georgian and Siberian treat.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Pine

Ingredients

  • Green Pine Cones
  • Golden Granulated Sugar

Method

You will need green pine cones, golden granulated sugar and a sterilised jar. Pour a little sugar into the jar then place a layer of cones on it. Cover with more sugar and repeat layers until the jar is full. Leave for three weeks. The moisture in the cones combines with sugar to form a syrupy mixture. Sieve this honey into a dry glass jar and refrigerate. Use like you would honey.
