Foraging Pinon Pine Cones & Making Homemade Pine Syrup | Natural DIY Recipe

- Hey everyone! Welcome back to the homestead. Today, we're taking you along as we forage for green (immature) pinon pine cones and turn them into delicious homemade pine syrup. 🌲🍯
In this video, we start by exploring the beautiful Colorado mountains, gathering pinon pine cones. Foraging is a wonderful way to connect with nature and utilize the natural resources around us. These immature pine cones are perfect for making pine syrup, a unique and flavorful addition to our homestead pantry.
Once we’ve collected enough pine cones, I show you how to prepare them for syrup making. We fill a jar with the foraged pine cones and top it with natural sugar. Over time, the sugar extracts the liquid from the pine cones, leaving us with a jar full of delicious pine syrup. This process is simple and requires just a bit of patience. I explain that the jar needs to sit in a sunny window for 4-6 weeks or until the sugar is completely dissolved, transforming into syrup.
Making pine syrup is a fantastic way to preserve the flavors of the forest and add a unique touch to your recipes. It's an excellent example of sustainable living, using what nature provides to create something special and delicious. Plus, it’s much healthier and more natural than store-bought syrups filled with artificial ingredients.

I looked up fpj & am totally going to try it! This process is pine syrup but fpj would be super helpful out here. Thank you!
Instead of the regular sugar, can I use the alternative called
“xylitol” a sugar derived from the birch tree?
I haven’t tried that so I would test a small jar and see what happens! I know people use brown sugar but I haven’t heard of someone using xylitol. Let me know if you test it & how it comes out!!
I’m not sure you really understand xylitol.
The origin came from beech wood but, it’s not what xylitol really is.
I work in dentistry and therefore I work with xylitol products.
Emil Fischer, a German chemistry professor, and his assistant Rudolf Stahel isolated a new compound from beech wood chips in September 1890 and named it Xylit, the German word for xylitol. The following year, the French chemist M. G. Bertrand isolated xylitol syrup by processing wheat and oat straw. Sugar rationing during World War II led to an interest in sugar substitutes. Interest in xylitol and other polyols became intense, leading to their characterization and manufacturing methods.
Industrial production starts with lignocellulosic biomass from which xylan is extracted; raw biomass materials include hardwoods, softwoods, and agricultural waste from processing maize, wheat, or rice. The mixture is hydrolyzed with acid to give xylose. The xylose is purified by chromatography. Purified xylose is catalytically hydrogenated into xylitol using a Raney nickel catalyst. The conversion changes the sugar (xylose, an aldehyde) into the primary alcohol, xylitol.
I encourage you to research the product. It’s not all bad but, it’s not that great either. It has its place in our world but, I personally wouldn’t use it in any quantity beyond a dab of toothpaste or stick of gum.
To each their own. Just sharing information.
How do you use the pine syrup?
I put it in coffee and tea, baked goods, sauces and dressings, etc. It’s a fresh, sweet flavor!
@@wildwithnature Thank you! Is this the only type of pine that will work for pine syrup?
@@Anne--Marie From what I've read, you can use all sorts of pines and each one will have a different flavour profile.
@@rob3071 Thank you!
This is the only one I've ever used. I would research before using whichever pine you have around you. Some pines likes lodgepole, Norfolk, ponderosa, and yew are said to be toxic so just research and be careful!
