Sweet, thick, simple ingredients and easy to make, this AppleVegan Honey will be your new favorite sweetener- you won't miss real honey at all! Make up a big batch and use it on everything from drizzling on fruit, toast or even in savory dishes.
Whisk together the apple juice, organic cane sugar and lemon slice in a small pot. Bring the liquid to a boil and then reduce to a simmer over medium heat for 25 minutes. The lemon slice will add a citrus undertone to the honey which I enjoy but if you want the lemon flavor to be very subtle, remove after about 10 minutes.
Once done, the honey will be reduced by about ¼ and slightly thickened. Keep in mind, it thickens when it's cooled so don't over cook it.
Pour honey in to a glass jar and let cool completely at room temperature. Once the honey has completely cooled, transfer it to the fridge and store for a few hours. Once completely cooled and chilled it should be thick and sticky.
Notes
Use a clear, airtight jar to store the honey in. I recommend storing in the fridge. It should remain a thick and gooey consistency when stored cold.
