Instructions

  1. Place desired add ins inside a half pint size mason jar. Cover with honey leaving 1 inch of headspace. Stack 2 round coffee filters together and trim so it hangs over the jar about an inch. Place filters on top of the opening of the jar and screw a ring on tightly (just the ring, no flat needed).
  2. Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker pot and place trivet inside. Place jar on the trivet. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 30 minutes (15 minutes for a more mild flavor).
  3. When cooking is complete, use a natural release.
  4. Carefully remove the mason jar (the honey will be HOT!). Using hot pads or a rag, remove the lid and vigorously stir the honey to infuse maximum flavor. Pour honey through a small, fine mesh sieve placed over another half pint size mason jar. Discard add ins. (Honey can also be poured through cheesecloth). Store at room temperature in a mason jar with a pourable lid.

Notes

Notes
-Use dried ingredients (not fresh) to flavor the honey to prevent possible contamination. However, fresh ingredients (such as fresh ginger vs crystalized) will lend a stronger flavor. If using fresh, use the honey within 1 month or store in the fridge.
-A 6 quart pot can fit up to 5 half pint size mason jars at a time
-If making multiple flavors in a single batch, consider strong smells that may cross over into the other bottles (for example, don’t infuse a garlic honey next to a vanilla honey)
-Pour the honey through a strainer when it’s still warm for easier straining
-Serve several choices of honey on a fancy platter with a mix of meat, cheese, and bread
-Don’t use expensive raw honey for this, you don’t want to be exposing that precious gold to such high temperatures.
