Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw, unprocessed honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the smoker: Set your smoker or pellet grill to 170°F using mild-flavored wood pellets such as apple, cherry, or hickory. Alternatively, a gas grill with indirect heat and wood chips can be used.
  2. Prepare the honey: Pour the honey into a large, shallow baking dish or rimmed baking sheet to maximize surface area for smoke exposure.
  3. Smoke the honey: Place the dish directly on the smoker grates and close the lid. Smoke the honey for 2 hours, stirring gently every 30 minutes to ensure even absorption of smoke flavor.
  4. Cool the honey: Carefully remove the baking dish from the smoker and let the honey cool for at least 10 minutes, or until safe to handle and enjoy.
  5. Serve and store: Enjoy the smoked honey immediately as a condiment or sweetener. For storage, transfer to clean mason jars with tight-fitting lids; it will stay fresh up to 6 months at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use mild fruitwood pellets like apple, cherry, or hickory for a balanced smoky flavor that complements honey without overpowering it.
  • Stirring the honey every 30 minutes is key to ensuring all the honey absorbs the smoke evenly.
  • Store smoked honey in tightly sealed jars away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness.
  • This smoked honey can be used as a topping for toast, drizzled over cheese or desserts, or added to drinks and marinades for unique flavor enhancement.
  • Ensure the smoker temperature remains steady at 170°F for consistent results.
