STORING HONEY
Always store honey at room temperature, since refrigeration speeds up crystallization.
If honey crystallizes, remove lid and place jar in warm water.
Or, microwave 1 cup of honey
in microwave-safe container at HIGH (100%) 2 to 3 minutes, or until crystals
dissolve; stir every 30 seconds.

WARNING:
Do not feed honey to infants under one year of age.

SUBSTITUTING HONEY
You can substitute honey for equal amounts of sugar in many recipes. In baked
goods, substitute honey for up to half the sugar and make the following adjustments:
Reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.
Add 1/2 tsp. baking soda for each cup of honey used.
Reduce oven temperature by 25° F.
