Seasonal WHITE PINE Herbal Honey (6 oz) is made by infusing raw honey with wildcrafted white pine (Pinus strobus) spring tips harvested in summer 2023. This honey has a light, refreshing flavor. It's great to have on hand throughout the year but especially during fall and winter months to help ward off or find relief from coughs and colds.

White Pine needles, bark, resin, pollen, and (pine) nuts all have important medicinal or nutritional value. The needles are a rich source of Vitamins A & C! You can identify White Pine pretty easily: its needles/leaves occur in bundles or fascicles of 5 and are usually 3-5 inches long.

In terms of symbolic value, the White Pine stands as the Great Tree of Peace to the Haudenosaunee or “People of the Longhouse.” After years of warfare, the Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, and Mohawk Peoples came together to form the Five Nations Confederacy c. 1650 after a man named Peacemaker saw a vision of the tribes burying their weapons beneath the "Great White Pine."

White Pine’s herbal actions include: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, diuretic, expectorant, and stimulant

Each batch of Finlay's Garden Herbal Honey is lovingly crafted and yields only a few tasty jars at a time. After filling up mason jars with the honey and dried herbs, I place them in my sunroom for 4-6 weeks. I turn over each jar every day or two so that the ingredients can dance together. This process allows the sun to gently warm the honey in order to extract the beneficial properties of the herbs and to marry the delicious flavors. Then I gently heat the honey in a double-boiler so that I can strain out the herbs. You may find very small particles of herbs left in the honey -- this is because I don't heat the honey too high nor do I strain it incredibly fine so as to not lose any benefits of the raw honey.

I purchased this Georgia Wildflower honey from the French Broad Food Co-Op (Asheville, NC). They procure the honey from Haw Creek Honey Co. I wildcrafted the white pine spring tips from a local area of great abundance. My labels are printed on recycled white labels, and I reuse packaging materials in my shipments.
