Yes, but you must do it carefully.

Loosen the jar lid but don't remove it, and heat the honey by placing the jar in a bowl of water no hotter than 45 degrees C. A good rule of thumb is to have the water no hotter than you can bear to keep your hand in. It may take a while, but eventually the crystals will dissolve.

Don't be tempted to try to accelerate the process by increasing the temperature. Above about 45 degrees enzymes in the honey will start to break down some of the sugars into other substances which will give the honey a bad flavour. Some people suggest using a microwave oven, but by doing it that way it is far too easy to overheat the honey.

Why is honey made?

Bees gather the makings that become honey, to feed the Queen and food party with, later. Honey is the only food that NEVER spoils, if kept covered. It can turn to crystalized honey-sugar but if re-heated slowly, it will turn back to liquid honey that can be consumed. Crystalized honey can be eaten with a spoon. You can't O.D. on honey. When you've eaten enough, your mouth goes on strike. Do NOT spray Insecticide on flowers that give you honey free, brain surgeon.


Does honey become more pliable when heated?

Honey will soften, and crystalized honey may even liquify, if it is heated. But be careful and heat it by loosening the top of the jar (don't remove it) and put the jar in a bowl of hot water, no hotter than you can bear to keep your hand in. If you overheat honey you will spoil its flavour.

Is honey a fluid?

Honey is basically a fluid. It is a saturated or supersaturated sugar solution with about 18 per cent water. When collected from the honeycomb, honey is always liquid, but because of the concentration of sugars, they will eventually start to crystalize out of solution, and some honeys do this faster than others. A little gentle warming, and crystalized honeys will usually become liquid again.
