Recipe Notes

You can choose to leave the herbs and/or fruits in the jar and that's fine as long as they are covered with honey. I may do that for a while, and then as it is used, will decant so that the honey is in the labelled jar waiting for use. It does not need to be refrigerated. Do use the honeyed fruit!
