Ingredients

2 cups apple juice extra points if you make your own fresh apple juice with a juicer!
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

In a small saucepan over high heat, pour in the apple juice, granulated sugar, and lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil uncovered.
Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and allow to simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring every minute or two until it transforms from a liquid, to a syrup, to honey consistency.
Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. The vegan honey will be very hot, so take care not to touch it until it cools. Pour the apple honey into a clean glass mason jar, and once it's at room temperature, store in the refrigerator.

Notes

If stored in a clean sealed jar, this apple honey can last up to 6 months in the fridge. If you plan to store your apple honey for a long period, be sure to sanitize your jars before using. You can sanitize your jars by placing them in boiling water for at least 10 minutes).
