How to Make Clover Honey

  1. Gently pick approximately 2 cups of clover and rose blossoms. Rinse thoroughly and set aside to dry completely.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.)
  4. Add the dried clover and rose blossoms to the sugar syrup. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Let the mixture stand, covered, for at least 20 minutes to allow the blossoms to infuse their flavor and color into the syrup.
  6. 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.
  7. Pour the strained honey into sterilized bottles or jars. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
