Making Creamed Honey

[PraiseDivineMercy]

Thanks, used this to turn my jar of regular honey into creamed honey

[rdbrune]

Do you use Clover honey? Have you ever used Orange Blossom honey? Can you tell me where I could get a bucket like that? The creamed honey containers. What do you have to do to get those jar lids to seal? Does it have to be refrigerated or just kept at room temp.? What is the shelf life? Thanks

[beefitter]

no, heating to 95 degrees does not kill the enzymes. You have to realize that it is hotter than that in the summertime. To kill the natural enzymes the temperature has to be above 140 degrees f. I do not make creamed honey in the summertime because it can melt the crystals and turn it to liquid honey. It will not set up again in the creamed state once this happens without redoing this process.

does heating the honey kill all the enzymes and health benefits

[jmolc]

This is my favorite honey by far. I asked for it at a local farmers market and they said no such thing or i never heard of it.

intact even

[beefitter]

I can't speak for all the creamed honey makers out there but mine is raw.

[neoalphaone]

can u cream pasterized honey? i dont touch pastuerized honey but im wondering if all creamed honey is "raw" with all their healthy properties still in tact.

Hi there,

I followed your recipe to the letter...and the creamed honey turned out excellent. I even added the cinammon and it is the best ever. Thanks for your great video.

can you let it set up in the individual containers

[beefitter]

@slacker361 yes, you want to set it up in individual containers. If it sets up in a 5 gallon pail it is difficult to get into containers plus it would not have a good appearance.

Creamed honey is amazing.

[bedroomeye]

just a quick question. Can we drink cream honey and mix it with milk, after we microwave it at least 1 minute?

[beefitter]

@bedroomeye it is just honey. Make it how you want it. If you microwave it, it will liquefy to liquid honey and no longer be firm.

[bedroomeye]

@beefitter @beefitter Thank you for the tips, I really appreciate it, I enjoy drinking milk with cream honey, it's delicious...thank you so much...Wish you are near at Chino..so i can check out your cream honey...

[richard2mitchell]

@beefitter i mean do you let it sit at all b4 you bottle?

[beefitter]

@richard2mitchell mix it day 1, mix again day two, bottle day three, let sit in cool temperatures (57 degrees F.) until it sets up.

[richard2mitchell]

@beefitter how do you heat it up?

[shrednrip420]

@bedroomeye

never put honey in a microwave !! it ruins it !!

[1toomanyhobbies]

How do you define grade A honey? Is it filtered with a 200 micron filter?

[beefitter]

The definition of Grade A Honey is that it tastes like honey and has a water content of 18.6% or less. Honey with a water content higher than that threshold will ferment.

[richard2mitchell]

@beefitter so you let it sit for weeks then bottle?

or bottle then sit?

[robertof84]

how to you get the vacuum seal on the jars?

[beefitter]

@robertof84

You don't need a vacuum seal. Honey is safe to eat in any tightly closed container. As long as the honey stays 18.6% water content or less it should last forever. They found honey in the pyramids. I didn't taste it, so I don't know how it tastes after a few centuries.

[invalidacess]

man, cream honey looks so damn good. but they dont sell it in my local supermarkert :( i so want to try some.

[jmgunner22]

I tried this process, it turned out GREAT! Thanks.

[mxjane]

Thanks for the info! Couple questions: Is there an optimal lower temperature for stirring in the spun honey crystals? Did you re-heat the honey to get it to pour into the jars. YUM!

[spankses]

looks like heaven to me dude....

[s4xton]

Yum. Informative -- and creative morning shadows and lighting. I also liked the reflections in the honey.
