In savory cooking, it can be brushed onto meats during the last few minutes of roasting to create a glossy glaze. It also works well as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal.

How to keep the rest
To maintain the quality of the honey, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. If honey crystallizes over time, this is a natural process and does not affect its quality. You can gently warm the jar in warm water to return it to a liquid state.
