Best Answer

Honey turning to sugar is called granulation and doesn't affect the taste or quality of the honey in any way. However, if you want to change it back to its original runny state, heat it gently, being careful not to boil it.
Just heat it up in the microwave, or in a pan of hot water on a stove.

Heat it up. To avoid parts of the honey from overheating (or the container from being damaged, depending on its material), put the container that has the honey into a pot with hot water, or a pot with cold water which you then heat on the stove.

Why is honey a liquid?

Honey is a liquid in its normal state, because it has the characteristics of a liquid. Liquids have a definite volume, but no fixed shape. Honey will flow to conform to the shape of its environment, such as a jar. However, honey can become a solid when it crystalizes. You can return it to liquid form by heating it.


How can I make honey dry and what will happen to it when it does?

You can't actually "dry" honey. In time, it will crystallize, and heating it will cause it to return back to it's original liquid state. Honey is considered a perfect food. It does not spoil, and has antiseptic properties.


Is heating liquid honey a change of state?

No. Simply heating honey, while making it less viscus, does not change its state. It remains a liquid. Unless heating is prolonged enough to cause evaporation, the honey will remain a liquid, so no change of state occurs by simply heating.


Can honey become entirely solid?

Yes. Over a period of time, quality honey will 'set'. If you heat it gently, it will return to its original state.


Does microwaving honey ruin it?

Yes it can, but in a microwave safe container and I would personally cover the container since if the honey gets on the inside of the microwave it will not be easy to clean up. Be aware that heating honey destroys the healthful enzymes contained in it. It can be more healthful to eat raw honey. Microwaving honey can also alter its taste. To make hardened honey return to a liquid state, put the container in a bowl of hot water for 15 minutes.


How do you soften honey when it gets solid?

If your honey has crystallized, open the container and set it in a bowl of hot water. The crystals should return to liquid. It may take more than one try. Don't put it in the microwave or on the stove as the container may break or split, then you have a real mess.

Why is honey viscous and sugar crystalline?

Liquid honey forms crystals over a period of time until the whole container is crystallized. If your honey has crystallized, open the container and set it in a bowl of hot water. The crystals should return to liquid. It may take more than one try. Don't put it in the microwave or on the stove as the container may break or split, then you have a real mess.

No nothing is normally added to honey but honey can be added to other products.


Is there a way to turn crystallized honey back into liquid honey?
