• liquid honey

    From JIM WELLER@1:123/140 to DALE SHIPP on Monday, April 16, 2018 22:40:00
    Quoting Dale Shipp to Michael Loo <=-

    I was amused by the specification of "liquid honey". Is there
    any other kind that folks might use?

    Honey is a supersaturated liquid that will crystallize over time.
    This will happen faster at lower storage temperatures, with
    unfiltered honey that contains pollen particles that act as crystal
    "seeds" and with honeys that are higher in glucose, lower in
    fructose such as alfalfa and clover, the most common varieties found
    in supermarkets.

    It is easy to re-liquidize solid honey by immersing the container in
    a hot water bath.

    Some uninformed people throw away crystallized honey, thinking it
    has somehow spoiled. It hasn't.

    Maple syrup can crystallize too.

    Categories: Candy
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 c Honey

    Cook honey to hard crack stage (285F) stirring constantly. Pour
    onto buttered marble slab. As soon as outside edges cool enough to
    touch,fold to center and make long roll. Start stretching or
    pulling while hot. Pull until honey becomes light and porous and
    small strings develop. Cut into short pieces. Place in paper lined
    metal cans for two days to soften.

    Honey is a supersaturated liquid that will crystallize over time.

    That is true of most honey. We use a type that does not crystallize,
    called tupolo honey. We have had jars stay liquid in our cabinet for
    years after opening them. There is another type also that Stephen
    Haffly told me about, but I don't recall the variety. I will grant that
    mixed honey, clover honey, etc. definitely will crystallize in time.

    There's at least factors involved. Bees have a preference for
    certain flowers because of their high yield, bee keepers know the
    seasons for the various flowers and they also move hives around ...
    to tupelo tree swamps, apple orchards, orange groves, clover fields
    etc.

    Thanks -- that is a logical reasoning and explanation. The moving of

    shortest route to the best nectar from which to make their honey. And
    then when that season of bloom ends, the bee keepers extract the honey
    before moving elsewhere.
