The Alaska Frontier Raw Fireweed Honey

Raw, unfiltered fireweed honey from Alaska, sold by The Alaska Frontier and harvested each July and August after the fireweed bloom. Color depends on where and when it is pulled: from nearly clear and light golden with a mild flavor to a darker amber with more strength. It is never heated above 104°F and crystallizes to a cream or white paste in cool rooms, which is normal. Sold in 8 oz and 1 lb sizes. The light lots suit tea and delicate baking; the darker ones stand up to toast and oatmeal.
