tupelo honey
Gum tree nectar
Tupelo honey is honey made from the nectar of tupelo trees, particularly white tupelo, which grows in swamps along the Gulf Coast.
Prized for its light color, mild flavor, and resistance to crystallization, it commands premium prices.
Van Morrison's 1971 album popularized the term as an endearment: She's as sweet as tupelo honey.
