Cooking with Honey top

To substitute honey for sugar in recipes, start by substituting up to half of the sugar called for. With a little experimentation, honey can replace all the sugar in some recipes.

When baking with honey, remember the following:

Substitute 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of 3 Bees Honey

Reduce any liquid called for by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.

Add l/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used.

Reduce oven temperature by 25° F to prevent over-browning.

Because of its high fructose content, honey has a higher sweetening power than sugar. This means you can use less honey than sugar to achieve the desired sweetness.

When measuring honey, coat the measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray or vegetable oil before adding the honey. The honey will slide right out.

Storing Honey top

To retain honey's wonderfully luxuriant texture, always store it at room temperature; never in the refrigerator. If your honey becomes cloudy, don't worry. It's just crystallization, a natural process. Place your honey jar in warm water until the crystals disappear. If you're in a hurry, place it in a microwave-safe container and heat it in the microwave on HIGH for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Remember, never boil or scorch honey.

Note: Honey should not be fed to infants under one year of age. Honey is a safe and wholesome food for children and adults. More Details
