Bee honey also has a preservative effect.

Aronia fruits can be harvested from mid-August to the end of September. The later they are harvested, the sweeter they are, but the raisin / dehydration effect also occurs. If the fruits are withered / dehydrated, they can be hydrated, leaving them in water for a few hours.
