As every thing check out if this is ok for you. The picking season is short here as we pick mainly the male cones when they are red to green. Once they starting turning brown we do not pick as most of the moisture and goodness in them are gone. We always take only about 30% from a tree to leave plenty of seed cones so the trees can keep producing.
Didn't see the above post.
Great info. We have some where I go fishing and when right im definitely going to try 👍👍
Thanks Chilli..... Once the cones and brown sugar are in your jar and stored, in the first week burp the jar (open the lid a bit to let out the gases) and then you are good to go. There are also some videos on you tube if one is not quite sure. I fill 2 jars 1.5 gallon each and make 24 pints that last a year until next year. What I like the most is that there are no other additives like there is in store bought syrup.
That makes two of us. I've never heard of pine cone syrup either. I'm afraid if I try to make syrup out of any of the pine cones around here I might end up producing a sweet tasting Pine-sol. I would go out and gather a lot of piñon nuts when I lived in Buena Vista, CO. Strange thing I did once, was I over roasted some one time. They came out very dark and taking a bite of one I swore it tasted like a roasted coffee been. Then decades later I see a bag of this in Costco
