Decrystallising Your Honey
Why has my honey gone solid?
Pure, natural honey will naturally crystallise (sometimes called "candying") over time. This is completely normal and a sign that your honey has not been heavily processed. Crystallisation does not affect the quality, purity, or flavour of your honey.
How to return honey to a liquid state:
- Remove the lid from the jar.
- Place the jar in a bowl or sink of warm water (not boiling).
- Let it sit for 15–30 minutes, stirring occasionally if possible.
- Replace the water as needed until the crystals dissolve.
- Allow the honey to cool before use.
Important:
Avoid microwaving your honey or exposing it to excessive heat, as this can reduce some of the natural qualities that make honey special.
Remember: Crystallised honey is still perfectly good to eat and is delicious spread on toast, crumpets, or enjoyed straight from the spoon.
