Solution for Crystallized Honey

 

H
honey is a natural product of honeybees, a supersaturated solution of natural sugars. When left in a cool dark place for a long time it will  "crystallize".

 

L. Loosen the lid and set the honey container in a pan of hot water; turn off the heat and let it liquefy. Heat the honey to about 120 F.  Overheating the honey will kill the healthy enzymes in the honey.

2.  Avoid using the microwave as this will quickly overheat the honey and melt plastic containers.
