HOMESTEADER HONEY
Homesteader Honey or Fireweed Honey Or Clover honey, is not a bee originated honey. It is a homemade honey that is next to impossible to tell the difference. I have substituted it in recipes with no issues. So for the cost of #5 pds of sugar, the time picking some clover blossoms and fireweed blossoms (if you have access) you...

Steps:
- 1. Use a strainer wash blooms in cold water (gently rinse and remove. Dry with the paper towels. Make sure that you do not have any leaves or green parts on the blossom. This will make the honey come out tasting wild or grassy.
- 2. Mix the water, sugar, Karo and alum in a large saucepan or pot, and boil for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat. NOTE: i have seen a recipe for this that just say use a 5 pd bag of sugar.
- 3. Add dry ingredients (blossoms) You can let this steep from 10 minutes to 3 hrs. The longer the steep the more flavor, I never went over an hour myself. If you are planning on canning the clover honey, for long term storage, then you should be sterilizing your canning jars during this steeping period.
- 4. Strain through cheese cloth. Make sure no plant matter goes into your honey.
- 5. Bring back to a boil in a large sauce pan. Pour into hot sterile jars. Waterbath for 10 minutes seal and store.
- 6. OPTIONAL: I add the Karo syrup as it helps stop the honey from returning to sugar. OPTIONAL: I would think you could use just clover blossoms if no fireweed is available. Optional you can also add a 1/3 of a cup of black berry's or other berries for a deeper color or flavor per friends who have made this (I have not tried this yet). Make sure you add when steeping.
HOMESTEADER'S FIREWEED HONEY
From Alaska's Outdoor Journal in "What's cookin in Marylin's kitchen" In the old days, Alaskan homesteaders did not have access to many of the food stuffs found in stores in the more civilized areas. So a great amount of their innovation was derived from using existing resources in creative ways. Honey was one of those condiments that was always in short supply in the early days of Alaska history. But here is a way to make a substitute "honey" for mere pennies. I have always made this especially when the kids were younger and they loved honey but the real thing was very expensive. People are always amazed that it tastes like the real thing! And I've often substituted it in my "honey bears" without anyone knowing the difference. ;-)
