What To Do If My Honey Crystallize

All honey can crystallize, but some varieties do so more readily than others. In our area, spring wildflower honey is particularly susceptible to crystallization, unlike sourwood honey. The tendency to crystallize is largely influenced by the types of sugars present in the nectar collected by bees. Fortunately, if honey does crystallize, it's easy to restore it to its liquid form by warming it to about 105 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s essential to avoid heating honey beyond 110 degrees, as this can kill off beneficial enzymes and diminish its health properties. Also, never place honey in the microwave, as this can cause uneven heating and further damage the honey's quality. With proper care, crystallized honey can be salvaged, allowing you to enjoy its natural sweetness once again.
