What it is

How people cook with it
Honey is a popular choice for sweetening beverages and baked goods. It also adds a unique flavor to marinades and sauces.
- Sweetening tea
- Drizzling on toast
- Adding to yogurt
- Glazing meats
Honey can be used as a direct substitute for sugar in many recipes, though it is sweeter and adds moisture. When baking, you may need to reduce other liquids slightly. It can be warmed gently to make it easier to pour and mix into batters or sauces. For glazes, it is often combined with other ingredients like mustard or soy sauce and brushed onto meats during the last part of cooking.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store this honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed. If it crystallizes, gently warm the jar in warm water; this does not affect its quality.
