How to Revive Crystallized Honey
Honey has been one of the few items that all of my kids love. Their favorite way to eat it is on a peanut butter and honey sandwich. I’ve always bought a huge bottle of honey because of the high demand in our house. When we moved from California to Texas, I brought along our bottle so we didn’t have to waste even a tiny bit. About a month ago I noticed that the honey had started to crystallize and I didn’t know what to do. Is it still good? Do we just eat the crystals now? After a quick Google search, I found that the honey is in fact still good, crystallization is just something that happens over time and it’s easily fixed!
I started by cutting my honey container in half so that I could scoop out the crystallized honey and place it into glass jars.
I used mason jars because I know that they’ll be able to withstand the heat of melting the crystals.
Place the jars in a pot on the stove top and add water about half way. Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to medium.
Keep the jars in the boiling water until all of the crystals have melted, stirring occasionally to break up the crystals. Do not leave the honey unattended!
The honey will eventually crystallize again in time but you can melt it again. Or, if you don’t plan on using the honey you can also freeze it in small batches and defrost as needed. The honey won’t crystallize in the freezer.
