Ok I’ll try anything once (WITHIN REASON!). This recipe is a hot mess. Recommend layering. A few cranberries, some honey. Repeat till full. I followed directions and packed the jar full of cranberries and now the honey is sitting on top and it will take days before it will ooze to the bottom of the jar. I tried warming the honey a smidge, but don’t want to risk getting it too hot and ruining the process. It may take til Christmas to pack the jar. Just sayin’
Here’s my poem, honey!
Honey makes the bitter sweet,
never degrades in cold nor heat,
builds immunity to colds sinus and flu,
yet truly only a little drop will do.
Manuka is the best made from tea trees,
healing abounds in anything made by bees,
try some bee pollen sometimes too,
and it may make a better stronger you.
-Inspired by Dr. Seuss and Proverbs 25:16
So I also have a little bit more to share about honey, honey.
Perhaps you’d not heard about the story where archaeologists had found some 2,000 year old honey sealed in jars and they found if was just as efficacious as fresh honey.
There was another time where I drank 1 small bottle of bad water from an infected well. That night my stomach ached so bad it woke me from a deep sleep. At 1st I thought maybe appendicitis but after checking a few med websites I found 2 things:
1) appendix is on the right side of the body, but my acute pain was on the left side.
2) stomach pain is the most common cause of emergency room trips.
Well I remembered my sister had gone in to the hospital for similar pain and they had kept her there 2 weeks trying to resolve the problem. No way I could afford that so I started looking through my OTC meds and realized I had bought some bee pollen but had barely used it. So I researched that on the web too. Took some for what I now suspected was diverticulitis from the bad water and the pain began to subside and I was back to a deep sleep with a few hours.
Now I often add some too my eggs in the morning, added it to my italian seasoning grinder to hide the taste. I couldn’t find the website from 2 years ago but here’s another listing of other honey benefits:
