How to Fix Crystallized Honey

Restore crystallized honey to its smooth, liquid state using gentle heat.

  1. Place the honey jar in a bowl of hot water (not boiling)

    Use water around 150 F / 65 C. Remove the lid first if it's plastic. The water should reach the honey level on the outside of the jar.

  2. Stir every few minutes until the crystals fully dissolve

    This usually takes 5-15 minutes depending on how crystallized it is. Replace the water if it cools down before the honey is smooth. Avoid microwaving — uneven heat can scorch the honey and degrade its flavor.
