Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 i just ran across this recipe and although i haven't tried it, i thought that someone on the list may be interested in it, esp. since it's a vegan replacement for honey. Homemade Honey 3 cups water 10 cups sugar 1 tsp alum 3 cups clover blossoms (no green parts) 2 & 1/2 cups other flower blossoms (no green parts) Boil water, sugar and alum for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Rinse blossoms in a strainer, and drain well. Stir in blossoms. Steep for 3 hours. Remove flowers. Strain through cheesecloth, if necessary. Reheat to a boil, then pour into jars, and seal. Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs. Try it free. http://music./unlimited/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Where on earth would I get all of these blossoms without being arrested for stealing from the neighbors garden? <grinning> And it is winter too! Never see them in the stores and would worry about them having been sprayed. And I am too lazy anyway! LOL But if one wants a short cut try using Agave nectar or brown rice syrup in place of honey if you want vegan. linda " Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Actually you could get away with dried red clover and chamomile flowers in the winter time. Here in Minnesota it is threatening snow and in the teens so no flowers till May....
