Among products, honey belongs to a special category; it is a healing product, as it is the result of the processing of pollen. Each of the honey plants has its own set of microelements.
Pollen processed by bees becomes a product that is not only useful, but also healing. It is difficult to prepare pumpkin honey like natural bee honey. In order to take advantage of the useful product, people learned to obtain honey in a different way, without the participation of bees.

What are the benefits of pumpkin honey?

The composition of pumpkin is such that it is recommended for first feeding for infants. Honey absorbs everything useful in large concentrations, which means it is effective in small volumes:

1. Honey cleanses the body of toxic substances, removes radioactive ions, and has a beneficial effect on.
2. Pumpkin honey is indispensable for liver problems. It acts as a balm, restoring cell membranes and restoring organ activity.
3. The product has antimicrobial properties and is useful for colds.
4. Honey is a storehouse of vitamins and minerals, improves the immunity of weakened people, and is recommended for children.

However, after taking pumpkin honey, you should always clean your mouth, as active substances and glucose lead to tooth decay. Diabetics should not eat honey for obvious reasons. It is better for chronic patients not to use pumpkin honey during an exacerbation.

As a beekeeping product, pumpkin honey is considered elite, it is produced in small quantities, and the demand for it is high. Natural honey can be bought from a beekeeper only in places where pumpkin fields cover many hectares. Only when there are no other honey plants nearby will the bees agree to take meager bribes from pumpkin flowers. Large yellow gramophones have a lot of pollen, but produce little nectar, about 30 kg of honey per hectare. Therefore, pumpkin honey is produced in Bashkiria, where there are traditionally many pumpkins and beekeeping is developed. It can be distinguished by its bright yellow color, lack of bitterness, and melon-like aftertaste and smell.

People have learned to extract everything useful from the pulp and turn it into a viscous syrup using sugar. This type of honey is less effective than natural honey, but is also a very useful product. Making sugar-based pumpkin honey is not difficult.

There are several recipes for pumpkin honey, each of which can be used at home. In any case, first of all you need to choose a ripe small one and wash the crust thoroughly. If honey is made from a whole fruit, it should be placed in a container.

Use a sharp knife to cut out the plug from the stem side of the pumpkin and place the whole side on the bottom of the pan. The hole should allow you to pick out the seeds from the cavity by hand. Sugar is poured into the resulting container and the top is covered with a cork with a pumpkin tail. Cover the pan to prevent dust from getting in and put it in a warm, dark place. The soft rind of the pumpkin will indicate the readiness of the honey, but fermentation should continue for at least 10-15 days.

Having opened the cork, you can see mold on the top of the walls of the pumpkin, since the composition settled and the walls were not protected. Now you will need a saucepan, the cleanliness of which has been taken care of. The crust is soft, it is difficult to remove the fruit. But you can make a hole at the bottom and lift the vacated wineskin. This way, pure honey will be collected, and the moldy walls can be cut off and removed. The rest of the candied pumpkin can be turned into candied squash.

This product can be used from the refrigerator within a month. For long-term storage, the composition can be boiled over low heat to obtain viscous dark honey, but it will be less useful after heat treatment. Honey poured into sterilized containers can be stored in a cool, dark place.

Pumpkin honey will become more expensive and healing, where any natural honey is used instead of sugar.

Pumpkin honey prepared on the basis of a natural flower product is more healing. They keep it in a pumpkin for up to a week, the finished composition is used as medicine, a tablespoon with warm tea or an infusion of medicinal herbs.

A quick recipe for pumpkin honey involves cutting pieces of pumpkin the night before into a glass or enamel bowl and filling the slices with sugar. After standing overnight, it is drained and the pieces are boiled until soft, adding spices, cloves and cinnamon. This product is also considered honey with a by-product - juice.

Any pumpkin honey made by bees or humans should not be used as an additive to a hot drink. Amino acids and other organic beneficial elements coagulate when heated above 50 degrees. Therefore, an infusion or tea is first prepared, and after cooling, healthy honey is added.

Pumpkin honey is an elite variety with unique benefits and special medicinal qualities. It is so unique that many people do not know about the existence of this healthy delicacy. It is impossible to purchase it in a store; it is rarely found on the open market and in markets. Moreover, even beekeepers themselves do not always have the opportunity to enjoy it. There is a real explanation for this.

Why is pumpkin honey a rare product?

The reason for this phenomenon is that the flowers of the plant are not considered good honey plants. Despite the fact that they are large in size and have a large amount of pollen, they do not contain enough nectar. Therefore, bees usually ignore them, preferring other flowers. According to estimates available to experts, one hectare of planting pumpkins can provide no more than thirty kilograms of aromatic honey. This fact is the main reason for the rarity of this for the consumer.

Since it is very difficult to obtain this product from bees in the required quantity, people have learned to prepare it themselves. We offer two basic, simple recipes.

First cooking method

We will need a large and ripe pumpkin. It is recommended to wash it thoroughly, cut off the top, and rake out the seeds and fibers. Next, pour sugar inside to the very top. Cover the top with the cut off cap. We place the berries in a large bowl, since the liquid will most likely leak out. We send the pumpkin to a cool place for ten days. The main thing is to stir the sugar periodically to ensure its complete dissolution.

After the specified time, carefully pour the pumpkin honey into the jar. The recipe allows for a small amount of mold to form on the surface. This does not mean that the honey has gone bad. You just need to remove the mold and pour the resulting liquid, or make a small hole in the bottom or side. The container must be clean, dry and sterilized.

Naturally, this is not exactly pumpkin honey. However, it contains a lot of microelements and vitamins; it is more useful than regular sugar. It can be consumed by adding to sugar, cottage cheese and muesli. This will give the dishes a unique aroma and original taste.

How to store this honey?

Naturally, this product cannot be stored for a long time. The maximum amount of time is one month. It is recommended to put it in the refrigerator or any other cool place.

If it is necessary to preserve such honey longer, then heat treatment is mandatory. It is recommended to cook it until thickened. However, in this case, the beneficial properties that distinguish pumpkin honey will be lost. The cooking recipe can be varied by adding cinnamon, cloves or your favorite seasonings during the boiling process.

Second cooking method

It is necessary to repeat all the steps described in the first method. But place regular, not very thick honey inside the berries. The result is an original product with a unique melon aroma and taste.

Naturally, this preparation method is more preferable if you plan to use the product for medicinal purposes.

What beneficial qualities does pumpkin honey have? Let's look at this in more detail.

In addition, pumpkin honey contains flavonoids - plant antioxidants that will help pregnant women maintain the elasticity of the body and skin. In addition, they are able to prevent pathological development in fetal cells.

Pumpkin honey, as noted above, is rich in iron, vitamins D, C and E, and a large number of minerals. Its use by the expectant mother promotes the full development and growth of the fetus. Therefore, there are no contraindications for taking the product during pregnancy.
