- a fairly common coniferous tree throughout Russia.
Given the fact that many summer residents have pine trees either directly on the site, or grow nearby in the forest, I think that it is possible to collect pine cones and use this very useful recipe.

I bring to the attention of the readers of the site the site amazing recipe not really regular product. I named it "Shishkin Honey". In essence, it is a sugar syrup boiled into an infusion of pine cones.
Healing "Shishkin Honey" has therapeutic and prophylactic properties of a wide range of applications and is used in medicine along with other pine gifts.

The use of pine in medicine

In particular, in medicine, for healing from various ailments, they go into action: resin-resin (turpentine and rosin are obtained from it), wood (it is used to make Activated carbon and tar), and cones.

- pulmonary tuberculosis;
- beriberi;
- low hemoglobin;
- polyarthritis.

Pine cones are used as effective remedy From cough. It is a tasty and pleasant medicine, which is important in the treatment of children who gladly take it.

Pine honey of my childhood

In my distant childhood, my mother harvested wonderful pine honey from young cones to treat us, children, from respiratory diseases.
We lived then in Belarus. My beloved homeland is not only the blue-eyed land of lakes, but also the land of bright, clean, high pine forests.

Of course, I, then a little girl, was not up to the intricacies of my mother's recipe. But the very process of collecting pine cones, their subsequent processing and cooking, I remember well. Because I was directly involved in this.
Many years have passed since then...

Pine tree in the garden

Planted by me live in my dacha. And there is only one pine. This tree grew by itself, by self-sowing. Moreover, the seedling sprouted in the most inconvenient (both for me and for the pine tree) place according to all conditions: in a ditch, on the border with a neighboring plot.
At first, the seedling of my pine tree looked like a horsetail shoot, so I almost weeded it out :-)

I had thoughts about transplanting pine trees. But my dad came to the dacha, may his memory be blessed, and said that this was not necessary: ​​“The tree itself chooses where to grow. And since the pine seed was destined to germinate in this very place, then so be it.

I must say that at that distant time I was more engaged in the garden, because the dacha was primarily a breadwinner (as, I am sure, many summer residents ...). Therefore, neither about, nor about, self-growing in the country, I somehow didn’t think then - which I now regret.
If I were on my pine, then it would grow more compact and fluffy. And without regular pinching, the pine tree grew tall, slender and leggy.

For many years there were no cones on my pine. And then, finally, they appeared - so odorous, so resinous - I wanted to breathe them and breathe!
Then I remembered about my mother's pine honey ...

In the photo: green pine cone; harvest of pine cones

It is clear that a small crop of cones from my young pine was not enough for its preparation. Therefore, I had to go into the forest for cones.

Collection of pine cones

Pine cones are born in spring at the ends of young shoots. At first they are smaller than a pea. When they grow up a little, it is time to collect them for pine honey.

To prepare this delicious healing product, you need fresh, green cones. It is better to collect them from trees away from the highway, in ecologically clean areas. Ideally, where young pine trees grow.
Remove from the tree small developing cones that have reached 1-4 cm in length. They are easily cut with a knife or pierced with a fingernail.

So, my friend and I went to the forest to gather.
It turned out not quite a simple matter, since cones are not yet formed on young low pines.
With the help of a long pole (stick), one of us had to tilt the branches of tall pines, while the other collected cones from them. It must have looked pretty funny from the outside :)
So we collected green pine cones in the required quantity.

The next step was to study on the Internet information on how to prepare a healing product from pine cones. Among several methods, I chose one - it is most similar to the one that my mother used to make pine honey.
Now I offer this recipe (already tested, as they say, “on myself”) to the attention of Gardenia readers.

Preparation of "Shishkin's Honey"

To prepare "Shishkin's Mead" adhere to the following proportion:
- pine cones young, green - 75-80 pieces per liter of water,
- granulated sugar - 1 kg per 1 liter of pine infusion.

Sort the collected cones, rinse well in clean water. Pour them fresh cold water- so that it covers the cones by 1-2 cm.
Next, put the dishes with cones on the fire, bring the water to a boil. Then you need to boil (with the lid closed!) On low heat for about half an hour. As a result, the boiled cones should become soft.
After that, the resulting broth should be infused for 1 day.

The next day, strain this infusion, pouring the liquid into another pan.
Add granulated sugar to the broth (from the ratio: 1 kg of sugar per 1 liter of infusion). Next, boil the bumps in the resulting syrup, like regular jam.
During cooking, do not forget to remove the resulting foam!
Boil pine cones over low heat for at least 1.5 hours.

The result is "Shishkin Med" of a beautiful crimson color.
I pour it into heated jars and close the lids.

From 150 pieces of collected green pine cones I got an infusion with a volume of 1l 400 ml .
And that's how much I stocked up for the whole year of ready-made healing syrup - pine honey.

VERY useful product! Do not be lazy, make yourself "Shishkin Honey"!

An enamel bowl after boiling the cones is washed with some difficulty due to a resinous coating. And the second time, after boiling the syrup, it’s already easy.

Syrup from pine panicles-candles

In spring, light yellow clusters of male spikelets form at the base of some young pine shoots. Ripe yellow pollen pours out of them abundantly. Only a small amount of it gets to its intended purpose - on pine cones for their pollination, and the rest is carried by the wind far around the pines. This useful pollen eats various small animals. Pine pollen that has fallen into the water of the reservoir is eaten by fish fry.

In addition to making pine honey from green cones, you can also make a healing syrup from flowering pine panicle candles. In this case, you need to pour less water.

The color of the syrup from pine panicles in the end is not so saturated, Pink colour. But on healing properties this syrup is not inferior to "Shishkin honey".

Grow pines and use their gifts for pleasure and benefit, be healthy!

Pine bud honey

Pine buds are collected in early spring - March or April, depending on the weather. They are easy to spot on the branches: they resemble a bunch of miniature green grapes - with cones in common, they still have only a slightly rough surface.

Pine shoot honey recipe:

Rinse the shoots thoroughly, then grind in a juicer or with a blender. Mix the mass with natural liquid honey in equal proportions.
