You can substitute honey for equal
amounts of sugar in many recipes. In
baked goods, substitute honey for up
to half the amount of sugar and make
the following adjustments: Reduce the
amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup
for each cup of honey used Add 1/2 tsp.
baking soda for each cup of honey
used. Reduce oven temperature by
25F (because honey will brown
baking goods more than sugar.

HOT HONEY TIP!
a
To measure honey for a recipe (without a sticky mess), spray measuring cup with vegetable oil first, then measure the amount of honey needed for the recipe. You'll be surprised how easy honey will  release out of the measuring cup!
a

HOW TO STORE HONEY:
a
Store honey at room temperature. Refrigeration speeds up crystallization. If honey crystallizes, remove lid and place jar in warm water. Or, microwave 1 cup of honey in microwave-safe container at high (100%) 2-3 minutes or until crystals dissolve, stir every 30 seconds.

WHY ARE BABIES UNDER 1 1/2 YEARS NOT ALLOWED TO ENJOY HONEY?
Honey has been credited for centuries for it's sweet and medicinal applications. External applications include the treatment of wounds, cuts, burns, acne, pimples etc. Internal uses for honey include stomach ulcers, (peptic ulcers), duodenal ulcers. Manuka Honey from the flower of the Tea Tree of New Zealand, is specifically used for ulcers, because of it's natural ability to destroy the helicobacter pylori, believed to be the cause of stomach ulcers (peptic ulcers).

However, it is important that honey not be given to children under 1 1/2 years of age. Honey is a known source of bacterial spores that produce a toxin which can cause infant botulism. It is rare, but this serious form of food poisoning will affect the nervous system of babies and can result in death!
a

THE SIGNS OF INFANT BOTULISM

      Weakness in the neck, arms, or legs
       Inability to suck or cry normally
     Inability to feed or swallow
     Persistent constipation
     Normal breathing pattern may be affected

It's thought that children under the age of 1 1/2 years have not yet developed beneficial bacteria in their digestive tracts that can control botulism spores. Therefore do NOT add honey to baby food, water, formula or medicine! Do NOT dip a baby's pacifier in honey.

Botulism spores are actually quite common. They are also found in dust, soil, and uncooked foods. There is a risk in feeding any uncooked foods including honey to children under the age of 1 1/2 years. As children get older, it is thought that stomach acid, bacteria and the intestinal tract mature, to make them less susceptible to the toxins that botulism spores produce. It is thought that by the age of 1 1/2 years, these defense mechanisms are in place and that honey can then be safely consumed.

What kind of  HONEY is ideal for TEA, TOAST, COOKING, BAKING, BBQ SAUCES, MARINADES,  for  PANCAKES/WAFFLES and  ICE-CREAM topping?
a

1. Sage Honey is our # 1 choice for any recipe, because of it's delightful light flavor. It blends well with any recipe without taking over the taste of the recipe, just acting as an all natural sweetener.

2. Orange Blossom Honey from California and Raspberry Honey from Oregon both have a pleasant light floral taste and make a good choice for most honey receipes.

 3. Starthistle and Mountain Fireweed honey are pleasantly  light tasting all purpose honey's ideal for cooking and baking. These honey's don't dominate the taste of your favorite honey recipe, but are ideal substitute for white sugar in any recipe.

4. Buckwheat Honey from Oregon and Forest Honey from New Zealand (both dark and strong tasting honey's) enhance any BBQ sauce or marinade or can be enjoyed over hot oatmeal cereal for breakfast. 

5. New Zealand Manuka Honey from the flower of the Tea Tree is used mainly for it's medicinal purposes for sore throats, colds, canker sores, fever blisters and especially for stomach ulcers (peptic ulcers) because it is a highly researched honey by Dr. Molan from the Waikato University. It has been discovered that manuka honey naturally destroys the stahpylococcus and streptococcus as well as the helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) the bacteria thought to be responsible for causing stomach ulcers. Manuka Honey also tastes great on toast, biscuits and scones with or without peanut butter.

'Honey outperforms antibiotics' by Alternative Medicine Digest 
Researchers attending the First World Wound Healing Congress in Melbourne, Australia, learned that honey has outperformed conventional antibiotics in treating burns and infected caesarean sections. Honey can eradicate Salmonella, E. Coli and Helicobacter pylori and even kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria including the hospital superbug MRSA. Not all types of honey work though. The most effective ones are manuka honey from New Zealand and jelly bush honey from Australia. It is believed that these varieties release hydrogen peroxide, which is deadly to microbes. Dr. Peter Molan of the University of Waikato in New Zealand has found that swallowing half a teaspoon of manuka honey on an empty stomach will eradicate the bacteria H. pylori, which causes most stomach ulcers.  - New Scientist
