How to Fix Crystalized Honey

I'm sure this has happened to us all. You buy some honey, in a jar much larger than you need, forget it even exists until you stumble upon a recipe that calls for some honey, only to discover that over the years, the honey has crystalized. Well, don't fret as there is super easy to fix.

Turn a bowl upside-down in a tall stock pot. The bowl protects the honey from the direct heat of the bottom of the pot.

Note: Add the water such that the level of the water and honey are equal to one another.

You want a tall stock pot so that your jar of honey can sit on the bowl  and when filled with water, you have plenty of room and there is no danger of the water sloshing out.

Bring water to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Simmer as long as it takes to melt, or de-crystalize, the honey.

Note: If the honey is really old, you may have to add a tablespoon of water to the honey prior to heating.

Note: REMOVE LID to honey jar prior to heating.





When done and cooled off to room temperature, your honey will have its original consistency.

Note: It doesn't matter if your honey is in a plastic or glass jar. 

Note: When hot, your honey may seem thin and runny, this is normal. it will thicken as it cools.
