Reliquefy Granulated Honey

Some people say that their honey has "gone bad" or "turned to sugar" and that they need to purchase more. What a waste since honey never goes bad! Honey is a natural treat that's fun to eat! It's healthy and sweet and never a bad thing. Honey has been referred to as "nature's only perfect food" and it is the only food that we consume in its natural state that is produced by insects!

Steps

 * 1) [[Image:Honey_639.jpg|200px|right]]The granulation of honey is a natural process, and it is controlled by the sugar content within the honey. All honey will granulate, some types of honey will granulate more quickly than other types, but there is no need to throw away granulated honey.
 * 2) Reliquefy granulated honey by simply placing the jar in a warm water bath until all of the crystals dissolve.  A good rule of thumb is to keep the water at a temperature low enough that it does not burn your fingers.
 * 3) Note that once your honey is in liquid form again, you will have the same great product that you originally started out with!

Tips

 * Store honey at room temperature to retard granulation (cold storage speeds up the granulation process).
 * Do not heat your honey over 140 degrees Fahrenheit --60 degrees Celsius-- (extreme heat will destroy the natural goodness of the honey as well as alter the taste).
 * Do not add water to granulated honey. Only heat is needed to reliquefy.

Warnings

 * If water is added by mistake, honey will likely ferment into a form of mead.
 * Be careful how much honey you use, never have too much of a sugary thing.
