How to Make Clover Honey
- Gently pick approximately 2 cups of clover and rose blossoms. Rinse thoroughly and set aside to dry completely.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of granulated sugar and 2 cups of water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat and boil for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1/4 teaspoon of alum. (Alum helps create the honey-like texture; you can find it in the spice aisle of most grocery stores.)
- Add the dried clover and rose blossoms to the sugar syrup. Stir gently to combine.
- Let the mixture stand, covered, for at least 20 minutes to allow the blossoms to infuse their flavor and color into the syrup.
- Line a fine-mesh sieve with a double layer of cheesecloth. Carefully pour the mixture through the sieve, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Pour the strained honey into sterilized bottles or jars. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
