Preparation
We choose unaltered hawthorn fruits and then we wash them well in 2-3 waters. After washing, we leave them to dry on kitchen towels, until the excess water accumulated after washing is completely eliminated.
⚠ It is very important to remove the water from the fruit, to avoid fermentation.- Hawthorn fruits are put in a jar, without being pressed.
⚠ I chose to use the whole fruits with all the seeds, but they can be removed and even more, the fruit can be crumbled / minced / chopped / mixed for a more mix well with honey. - Add the honey over the hawthorn fruits, little by little, patiently, until it drains well between the fruits and until it covers them.
⚠ If the seeds have been removed, it is recommended to mix with a wooden spoon.
⚠ In the case of whole fruits, you will notice that they will easily rise to the surface.. - Hermetically close the jar with a lid or food foil and all that remains is to let it soak.
- It is left to macerate for at least 2 weeks, in a cool, ventilated place away from light, possibly a refrigerator.
→ During the maceration it is good to shake the jar daily to ensure the complete fusion of the hawthorn fruits with the honey.
→ During the maceration, you will notice how the honey becomes more and more liquid, practically the nutrients from the hawthorn fruits will be transferred into the honey. - After maceration, the hawthorn honey syrup can be filtered or consumed as is, with fruit.
After opening, the jar should only be kept cold, tightly closed, until it is completely consumed. We will do the same if we have filtered and have the hawthorn syrup.
