How To Melt Crystallized Honey
by
Jill F
We love our local honey straight from the hive! We buy it in bulk. And since some of it sits awhile it can crystallize - basically it turns to sugar. There is a simple way to safely turn that sugar back to runny, golden honey.
The lower the honey level gets the more it tends to crystallize. Putting it in the microwave is a quick fix but it also kills the good stuff the raw honey contains so it's not my favorite option at all.
Beautiful golden honey - pure and raw and local.

The oldest honey was discovered in Georgia (Russian Georgia). 5,500 years old and a small sample of it was liquefied and pronounced "lovely." "They" are going to discover older still in coming years. Honey is the only "food" that never goes bad.

My family owns a local honey company, and you are doing it the exact way should be done in order not to kill the raw ness of the honey! Microwaves are ok but with most they heat unevenly and can over heat the honey in areas. Best rule is not to let the honey go above 120°, even safer keep it under 115, and go slow as suggested by yourself (= its amazing the benefits of local raw honey and Atta girl for supporting your local keepers!
