Balsam

About this Honey

Produced from the Jewelweed (Touch-Me-Not) plant in wetlands and riverbanks. This honey is a curiosity because it is exceptionally hydrophobic and resists mixing with water. It is dark amber with a mild flavor, but it is rarely found pure because it is usually harvested alongside goldenrod or aster in the late season.
