Honey! ** DON’T THROW IT OUT......
So, periodically someone will state that a jar of honey in their cupboard has gone bad, when Honey actually never goes bad!
It looks crystalized or like it is separated in the jar.
Crystalization happens when there is an imbalance of the two sugars in honey — glucose and fructose.
Usually the bees get that balance perfect, but sometimes honey is harvested from a comb before all of the honey is capped.
The bees didn’t get to finish the job. But it’s no problem.
You see here some jars of crystalized or separated honey from beehives.
It can happen slowly over time.
So, here’s how to whip that honey back into shape.
All you do is put the jar in some warm water and slowly stir the honey. In about 20 minutes the jars are back to their perfect golden selves. Tastes great.
Unless honey is somehow contaminated with a foreign substance it will NEVER spoil or go bad.
Did you know archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs and it was perfectly edible?
Don’t throw it out. Honey is expensive.
Just warm it up and put it back in the cupboard ready for your next cup of tea 🍯 🐝 😊
