Rose Victoria's Tips About Honey

Here's a Tip From My Spoonsfull Of Love....About Honey: 
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: 
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.

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.
