Here are a few Handy Honey Hints

• When measuring, dip the spoon in hot water first so the honey slides off easily.

• Use light coloured honey for light coloured cakes, biscuits and stewed fruits.

• Use a darker honey for stronger flavour in gingerbread, chocolates etc.

• Cakes and biscuits made with honey keep longer as honey absorbs and retains moisture.

• Honey helps baked foods stay soft and can improve the texture and flavour.

• Use the same measure when substituting honey for sugar but reduce liquid content by a ¼.

• Always keep the lid on your honey and in a dry place - but not in the fridge.

• Place it in a black bag in direct sun light (the black bag protects the honey from harmful UV rays that would other wise harm your honey).

Or

• Stand the container of honey in a sink of very warm water.

With either of these methods, periodical stirring of the honey is recommended to return the honey to its natural fluid state. 

Please don't microwave your honey, as this will

destroy all the natural goodness of your honey.
