Print Recipe
This homemade acacia flower vegan honey is a fragrant, sweet treat made by infusing fresh acacia flowers into a pectin-rich apple broth. Perfect for drizzling over pancakes, desserts, or enjoying in your favorite beverages!

Ingredients

  • 4-5 apples with peel and seeds
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 tsp citric acid optional
  • Fresh acacia flowers

Instructions

  • Make Pectin Broth: Slice apples (with peel and seeds) and place in a saucepan. Add water and boil on low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Strain: Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or gauze, pressing the pulp. You should have 1 1/3 cups of liquid.
  • Make the Syrup: Return liquid to the saucepan, add sugar and citric acid. Boil, then cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring until syrup thickens.
  • Infuse with Flowers: Rinse acacia flowers, add to the syrup, cover, and let sit for 2-3 hours. Then, boil for another 3 hours.
  • After infusion, strain out the flowers from the syrup. To check if the syrup is ready, drop a small amount on a cold saucer. If the drop doesn’t spread, the syrup is thick enough.

Notes

  • Refrigerate for up to 2 months.
