Fermented Peach Honey
June 16, 2023 • 0 comments
Peach honey sounds like a dream, especially in the summertime. Serve drizzled over ice cream, in jasmine iced tea, or on toast!
Ingredients
- (1 cup) Peeled and sliced firm peaches
- (1 cup) Honey, or more to cover the peaches
- (1 inch) Peeled ginger, slightly crushed, optional
Directions
- Add the peach (and ginger if using it) to the mason jar. Add the honey, and completely cover the peach (and ginger). Make sure they are completely covered and coated in honey.
- Put the lid on the jar loosely, and place it in a cool dark spot.
- Every day: tighten the lid on the jar and flip it upside down to coat the peaches with honey. Loosen the lid when you return it to the upright position.
- Within a few days to a week, you should see small bubbles start to form on the surface of the honey.
- The honey peach will ferment for about a month, but you can eat it at any time.
- Store in a cool place or in the fridge once you reach a flavor you enjoy.
Note: Fermented fruit honey, such as peach, can be eaten in a day or a few weeks. You should sample it from time to time to see how the flavors develop and change. If, after two weeks, you no longer want your honey to ferment, you can place it in the fridge to stop the fermentation process.
