The microwave always melts it, so I avoid that, but I am wondering what else I can do!

Raw honey has all the natural enzymes, mild antibacterial qualities. <br />If you heat it above 40C-45C (104F - 114F) then you will loose the goodness!<br />I stick my 1 liter jars (decanted from the tub) and leave them in the sun for a day, turning as needed. It's soon runny again and I know it hasn't been overheated.<br /><br />Commercial honey is heat treated, mixed with glucose and colouring (to get the consistency they need for their product) and so stays runny. blurgh!Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637570761992549181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-58405241827983625502011-03-09T04:01:09.617-05:002011-03-09T04:01:09.617-05:00Just don't microwave a honey bear too long wit...Just don't microwave a honey bear too long without checking on it!

I wanted to come see your blog and it looks like I'll have to stay and read awhile. I can't wait to try your bread recipe. I've tried many, but can't find one that is soft, I may be doing something wrong, any advice is welcome. Looking forward to hearing and learning from you as we make our journey here for the Lord.

What I do to keep it from crystallizing is as soon as I get the bucket, I open it and ladle the honey into 1/2 gallon jars. Then I just open them up as needed. I have had no trouble with it crystallizing as there is no air getting to it. It takes about 30 minutes of work in the beginning, but none of the heating or work to decrystallize later on. :) Also, when using my 1/2 gallon jars, as they get about 1/2 empty, I then transfer that to a quart jar. I have never had trouble with crystallization because of doing this, and I hope this can help you save a lot of time and trouble. :)--SWasatch Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866044436238151180noreply@blogger.com
