German honey is produced in the Black Forest National Park region. The German Beekeepers' Association certifies its products. These products must meet strict quality requirements and are sold only in standardized jars. They also have distinctive quality seals and a control number on the jar. These jars can be distinguished from other honey varieties by the presence of these features.

German honey is used to make sweet pastries, including Lebkuchen (German Honey Bars). These gingerbread cookies have a lemon-flavored glaze and are traditionally given as Christmas gifts. The dough is mixed with spices and toasted almonds, which add a nutty flavor. The mixture is cooled and whisked together. Afterwards, the honey and molasses are heated until boiling.

Other fruits used in German cuisine include raspberries, blackberries, and gooseberries. These fruits are rich sources of vitamin C, folic acid, and potassium. Blackberries, which grow in the forests of Northern Europe, are widely used in desserts. Germans love to spread them on their rolls. Red currant jams are also popular. They are used in cheesecakes, ice cream, and yogurt.

German Honig liqueur has a rich history. It was first developed in East Prussia during the 15th century. It is now produced by Schwarze & Schlichte in Oelde, Germany, and is 33% ABV. It has a pleasant taste, with a slight bitter aftertaste.

Among the most popular German fruit spreads, Pflaume is an excellent choice. It is grown in the Rhineland Palatine and Baden-Wuertemberg regions. Another popular fruit is Zwetschge, which is oval with pointy ends. Both types are widely used as a topping for summer cakes, and as a fruit spread. There is also Aachener Pfluemli, which is seasoned with cloves and cinnamon.
