Treatment of raisin honey

Retain 100% pectin and zero water treatment. It increases the difficulty of the honey processing method, which requires strict control of time. On the day of harvesting coffee cherries, pour the harvested coffee fruit into a big trough, and the ripe and full fruit will sink to the bottom of the water; the underdeveloped or overripe fruit will surface, and these floating beans need to be removed. Dry the screened coffee fruits on an elevated bed for at least three days, then peel the cherries and retain the pectin before drying. At this stage, climate factors are the key to the success of honey treatment.

Keep turning these coffee cherries during the drying process to make them dry evenly, but control the turning frequency and dry slowly to ensure that the coffee is fermented, but not so slowly that it is overfermented.
