COLD-SMOKED HONEY

     Sweet, sticky, smokey honey! Choose your favourite locally sourced honey, gently cold-smoke and enjoy the delicious smokey aftertaste of smoked honey in both sweet and savoury dishes. Cold-smoking retains the natural honey components and makes a small batch, unique gourmet ingredient that is ideal for gifts and sharing with your family and friends. 
    
INGREDIENTS:
Honey*
Smoking wood chips i.e. Redgum
   
METHOD:
1. Pour honey into foil trays (ensure honey is maximum 1cm thick).
2. Place the foil trays onto the wire rack/s in the smoking vessel.
3. Cold smoke honey for 30 minutes (small smoking vessels) or 60 minutes (large/200L smoking vessels). Stir every 20 minutes. (NOTE: smoking time provided is for Aussie Smoke Bloke cold smoke generators – other cold smoking units will take longer, adjust time as required according to your manual).
4. Remove trays from smoking vessel.
5. Cover trays with a lid, foil or plastic food wrap and set aside (indoors) at room temperature for 24 hours.
6. Taste smoked honey, mixing with non-smoked honey if the smoked honey flavour is too strong for your liking.
7. Pour smoked honey into airtight containers i.e. twist-top glass jars.
8. Store smoked honey in the pantry.
9. Smoked honey can be served immediately if desired.
10. Stir smoked honey before use.
