Special deal on crystallized honey!

We have some 5 pound jars that have started to crystallize and we’re offering them for a limited time for $10 off!

Ever noticed your jar of raw honey turning a bit crunchy or cloudy over time? Don’t worry—it’s not going bad, it’s just doing its thing! Crystallization is totally natural and actually a sign that your honey is the real deal.

The only honey that never gets chunky has usually been heat processed to destroy this natural characteristic.

So if your honey’s turning solid, give it a high-five—it’s keeping it raw and real!

We recommend you enjoy your crystallized honey as is because heating degrades its delicate flavors, unique aroma and nutritional benefits. Besides it won’t stay liquid for long! Once it cools down the crystallization process will begin again.

Crystallized honey melts readily in hot tea and is amazingly delicious on toast or fresh, hot homemade muffins; it will liquefy without running off the edges!

To de-crystallize honey:

Place your bottle of honey with its lid off inside a pot. Pour warm water (water should not exceed 110º F) into the pan and allow to sit until the honey melts. Some folks use a sous vide to maintain that hot-but-not-boiling temperature overnight.

Honey is like wine: different varieties made by bees in different locations have distinctive tastes.

• Buckwheat honey is a thick, dark honey with a deeper molasses-like flavor that is less sweet than traditional honey and higher in antioxidants.  It is made by bees from the nectar of buckwheat flowers, possessing antibacterial properties and may even support immune function. Makes a terrific glaze for salmon, ribs, chicken wings, even tofu!

• Butterbean honey comes from bees pollinating butterbeans, such as lima and other beans. It has a very smooth and mild taste, and is not super sweet or super strong. It is an excellent sweetener for tea, cereal, cakes and gooey treats.

• Clover honey is one of the most widely available and popular honey varieties. This classic honey has a pleasingly mild, floral sweetness.

• Cranberry blossom honey is not honey to which cranberry flavor has been added. It is the result of bees gathering nectar while pollinating cranberry plants grown in cranberry bogs. New Jersey — especially Burlington, Atlantic, and Ocean counties — is known for its cranberry farms. So Cranberry Honey is a natural New Jersey variety. This honey is sometimes reddish amber in color and has a delicate cranberry aroma and a slightly tart flavor.

• Wildflower honey, also known as polyfloral honey, is derived from the nectar of numerous species of flowers or blossoms, depending on which flowers are dominant at the time the nectar is collected.
