Oh The Humanity
Dagnabbit! I can never finish a container of honey before it turns to sugar. Of course, heating it in the microwave oven helps...but my honey is just never the same.

Does this mean you are breaking up with me?

:p

I like honey in my coffee.

Its a pain when the honey crystalizes in the squueze bottles!

I was forced to buy smaller bottles and pay more per ounce, but at least mine never gets a chance to crystallize now. I use honey to make muffins, and in peanut and honey sandwiches for my daughter.

Nothing is wrong with crystallized honey. It's less messy that way.

I buy honey in 6# bottles, and the large bottle never crystalizes. The small honeypot I use in the kitchen does though, so I only fill 1/2 full. I don't like it when that happens either.

The obvious problem is you aren't eating enough honey. ;)
Eat it BEFORE it gets a chance to crystalize.
Then BUY some more.

Really Stove Stomper?

I think that Stove Stomper just volunteered to supply the honey for all the muffins that Ice Tea volunteered me to make.

I usualy harvest 4-5 gallons a summer. My nephews provide labor and sell the extra for pocket money after the families take what they want. There's not much extra left. ;)

I prefer maple syrup to honey. I use it in beans, muffins, biscuits, and sometimes in yogurt.

The title of this thread reminds me of my granddaughter. When I ask whether she's still my girlfriend, she proclaims emphatically, "I'm not your girlfriend!"

Know what you mean Tilt.
When my oldest niece was about 8-9 years old, she declared she was going to marry me, her favorite uncle.
Her mother had to explain to her that just wasn't done.

I had to explain to my kids why they couldn't marry each other.

Fortunately, as my daughter ages, she wishes to spend less time with my son.

Cute kid story...
One winter I was shopping with my sister and her two preschoolers. I was pushing my nephew in the cart when he noticed the frosty decorations. After spotting those ice sticks that hang off your roof, he exclaimed very loudly, "LOOK AUNTY! TESTICLES!"

:o) He's 18 years old and in college now. I never let him forget it.

Newergirl just asked me a couple wks. ago, "Mama, if I give you candy will you marry me?" I think she's been watching far too many marriages on Disney movies. LOL! I don't know where the candy bribe came from?!

I prefer sugared honey--does anyone know how to make it do that besides waiting a loooong time? I make whole wheat bread with honey in it and then toast it in big thick slices and put real butter and sugared honey on it. I've been eating it all winter (can you say chubby) and I ate all of the sugared stuff.

That could be Bit. Maybe that was her thinking. Although, I don't often go down the bribe path. Once or twice must have been enough.

Making sugared (whipped) honey
Whipped honey is the proper term.

I found this on the web...
1. Buy a small jar of already creamed honey at supermarket.
2. The purchased honey is your starter - kinda like yeast for bread.
3. With purchased honey and your honey at room temperature mix the 2 together. The ratio is 1 part already creamed honey to 10 to 20 parts (by volume) of uncreamed honey.
4. When mixing try to not get any more air than possible in mixture - stir it in don't beat it in.
5. Place the mixture in your containers which it will be used from.
6. Put them in the warmest part of the fridge for about a week.
7. Whala - creamed honey.
8. You can then use one of your containers as starter for the next.
