Cranberry Honey

Extracted from the commercial cranberry bogs of Massachusetts and Wisconsin, this variety relies on a short, intense mid-summer pollination window where bees must navigate low-lying, damp wetland ecosystems. The high water table of the bogs influences the plant's physiology, requiring optimal solar radiation to concentrate the sugars within the shallow, delicate blossoms before extraction. Cranberry honey displays a beautiful reddish-amber hue and a plush, medium viscosity driven by balanced fructose-glucose ratios that favor a slow, uniform crystallization process. Its high organic acid profile provides excellent technical performance in meat glazes, reacting with heat to create a deeply caramelized, savory crust on roasted proteins.
