Making Mugolio (Pinecone Syrup) : ASMR

-To begin, gather green pinecones in the spring or early summer.

-By volume, you use roughly equal parts pinecones and brown sugar. By weight, you use roughly twice as much brown sugar as pinecones.

-Clean the pinecones and pack them into jars with brown sugar using the ratios above.

-If not all the pinecones are adequately covered, it's ok to add more brown sugar

-After a day you'll start to see the liquid being pulled out of the pinecones by the sugar. This is called maceration.

-As the jar liquefies and settles, either add more brown sugar to keep the pinecones covered, or simply shake the jars once a day.

-In the early days you'll need to "burp" your jar every so often to release built up gas. This is do to it slightly fermenting.

-After a month, it's done. However, some people will let it age for up to a year.

-Dump contents into a pot and heat to a simmer.

-Once it begins to simmer, immediately remove from heat and strain into containers.

-Due to its high sugar content, it is shelf stable, however, if you still wish to can it, simply poor the still hot liquid into a clean Mason jar. Put on the lid and ring and turn upside down.

-You're done.

I can't wait to try it, pinecone tea is awesome so I'm betting that this too. Thank you for sharing this with us.❤❤❤❤

Very cool, this is the first "cold extraction" I've seen. Last year I discovered longhorn sumac and made an insane sweet, tart red syrup to add to seltzer. This year I'll try your mugolio technique.

I'm in the process of making some Mugolio and I gave it a taste and it was extremely delicious.

Greetings, I'm glad to see this process. In happy that you didn't s rap your instructional video after you first put them in a bowl. That saved me from doing it hehehe. And I would have. Peace.

How many green pinecones to get the output you got and also how much output did you get? (Minus the jar weight)

Xylitol is a type of sugar from the syrup of Birch trees, it was the first natural healthy sugar that diabetics can use.
My question:
Can I use xylitol in this recipe instead of brown sugar? 🤷‍♀️

[razorbackfan]

I am going to make this, this year. We have pine trees everywhere. What do you use this on?

[RosalindaBetsoi]

Do you do the same if you use honey instead of brown sugar

[bw]

You made pine flavoured brown sugar syrup

[iiuva]

that is not pine syrup..that is brown sugar syrup

[JeffreyIsbell]

You can eat the pinecones. At least the jar I have from Russia has edible tiny cones.
