Why the crock pot? Even on high heat you don't need to worry about scorching or boiling to hard crack stage. You dump it all in and leave it for 8-10 hours. You can make this "honey" on the stove top but you'll need to cook it over low heat and bring it to a slow bubble rather than constant bubble. If it hits 300 F it won't be a syrup anymore. Plus you need to worry about it burning if you can't dedicate time to stirring for an hour. So. Use a crock pot! Worried about the amount of sugar? Well. Guess what. Honey is sugar. So… don't stress it and just enjoy the bee free sweet goodness. Also, most store-bought honey is unregulated and many companies only use trace amounts of actual honey (or no honey) in their honey. The rest is high fructose corn syrup or a conglomeration of chemicals which mimic honey. At least with this recipe you know what's in it.
