Sea buckthorn with honey in a jar, an excellent combination for increasing the body's immunity, especially near the cold season.

Shelf life of sea buckthorn macerate:
Personally, I have tested this product several times and I can tell you that it is ok after 6 months; let us not forget, however, that honey is a very good preservative. The shelf life is influenced by the proportion of honey & sea buckthorn: the more honey you put, the longer the preparation will last.
Observations
Quantity rule for sea buckthorn macerate: fill the jar for 3 quarters with sea buckthorn, then pour honey, little by little, until the container is filled and the sea buckthorn is practically covered with honey.
Detachment of sea buckthorn berries from branches: It is quite meticulous and that is why those who work with very large quantities, use the freezing method, which basically involves freezing the sea buckthorn branches and then detaching the fruit by shaking the branches. However, although freezing does not involve a great loss of the properties of sea buckthorn, if you have time, we recommend cutting sea buckthorn from the branches with scissors.
It is good that the sea buckthorn fruits to be well dried by the excess water, accumulated after washing, before maceration, in order to avoid a possible premature fermentation.
