Ps if you don’t want your honey to crystallize and you have more than you can eat in a few weeks put it in the freezer and it will stop it from growing crystals and honey stored at cold temps will keep all there good enzymes and flavor for up to 35 years… I really like comb honey that has large crystals in it. Large crystals have there own unique flavor and texture. I like the flavor of most honeys in either state. Using a blinder would brake up the large crystals but they would grow back in time so you might have to re blend it if lasted long enough. So you really do not need a lot of seed crystals to get it started and if the moisture content is low it will thicken in just a few days or weeks depending on temps the honey is stored at. you can add a small crystallized honey as seed crystals to other types of honey and the honey will crystallize with the same small crystals even though normally those honeys would create large crystals. That’s where they started with natural honeys that had small crystals mixed with other honeys that has been heated and all the crystals removed. I get a lot of cat claw and mesquite honey and they will crystallize very fast with small crystals. I have had supers that I was late getting them off the hives and could not get the honey out. There are some honey types that will crystallize very fast even when its still in the comb. So find some real honey and leave it at room temps and it will crystallize if the moisture content is low like it should be it will not take to long. If any of my information is wrong (which it cant possibly because I was raised with the bees) then keep in mind that I’m fourteen and I am just telling you what I know as a daughter of a large beekeeping incorporation.Ī lot of the honey you buy at the grocery store has been flash heated and will not crystallize for a long time and some that has been adulterated and will not work. We have over 2000 hives all over central Florida from frostproof to Miami.

You can tell that its crystallized because over time it becomes a lighter color and the air bubble can no longer move.

Once you buy raw honey, just stick it in the fridge and overtime it should crystallize from the cold. Its also cannot be crystallized because at that point the honey is artificial. Store bought honey is heated to such an extent that it kills all the enzymes ( the beneficial factor of honey) so there is no beeswax in it.ĭO NOT BUY HONEY FROM STORES SUCH AS PUBLIX. Make sure to ask the beekeeper if it is truly raw… it has not been heated or toyed with (they did not put anything in it), just filtered. Just buy raw honey from a local TRUSTED beekeeper, one pound of honey should be about $10-$20. You need RAW honey to get crystallized honey. It has smooth spreadable consistency, which is very convenient if you like to eat your honey with a spoon and it also makes a great spread on (home made) bread, on top of butter, sprinkled with some cinnamon… Hello, my favorite breakfast. Its color becomes pale (almost white) and texture creamy. The more you mix it, the creamier and more stable it becomes. You will want to mix it a few more times (2-3 intervals). Take some liquid honey and crystallized honey (1:1 or use less crystallized honey) and put it into your stand mixer, turn on low/medium speed and let it work its magic…for about 20 minutes. The procedure is quite simple and you can try it at home. It is 100 % natural honey with no additives, only in different “state”. Well, actually bees made it, but dad creamed it. My dad made it a couple of days ago and my favorite breakfast was born.

Creamed honey, also called whipped honey, spun honey, churned honey. Honey jar by honey jar and so came this creamy goodness. I put honey in coffee and tea, like to use it in sweets, basically, like to use it whenever and wherever. But even the slightest look at honey, product above all natural products makes it worth all the effort. And here’s when we again come back to labor, hard labor. And when you have eco-certification, like our farm does, it means maintaining the highest environmental standard possible. Bees are extraordinary, hard-working creatures and at the same time request you to be the same if you want to benefit from their work and magical creations. Having a beekeeping farm consumes almost all your time. Have you ever heard of creamed honey? My family owns a beekeeping farm and we use honey on daily basis. Give some honey a good whip this weekend, and you’ll end up with a new favorite breakfast spread.
