Thank you. My quest is to move my honey fron a quart jar into smaller containers with pour spouts. The heating/thinning of the honey seems to be the key I was looking for. Thanks, again.
WHAT MADNESS Honey's healthy properties deteriorate if it is heated so much, honey contains sugars and antibacterials so it cannot go bad as long as the water content stays below 18% It can be stored for 1000 years or more without going bad in a regular jar with a tight lid WITHOUT heating.
We've got about 30+ lbs of honey we have to get out of our 2 bee boxes.weve never canned it but I guess that would come in handy.i don't eat it cuz I don't like honey.he don't eat that much of it and we mostly give it away to friends and family.
Hi Mud, I’ve been bottling and selling honey but recently started offering jars. The problem is the jar lids leak. Some thin tinplate lids from China. I’m considering using canning lids but i have a few questions: Does the jar have to be heated/boiled? Can these canning lids be reused? Im considering our customers, they won’t necessarily use all the contents at once. If not, do you have any recommendations for a better lid? 63mm diameter. Thank you so much either way.
You should always follow proper sanitary procedures when canning anything and boil/sterilize the jars first. The lids can be reused along with a screw band/ring as a lid on an opened jar but they should not be reused for canning purposes.
I have four yr old honey that has crystalized. Mushroomed you know a lot!! Can you tell me.how to reverse.it without killing the good compounds! It's special b c my friends raised beds for a cold of years and they have since moved. I honestly dislike the taste of honey but use it when I get really sick!.thanks sir!!! Sincerely, Grace in Vt
Hey Mudbrooker, question from someone who is the son of someone who keeps bees. I dont know if you are the bee keeper or if you got the honey from someone, but I need suggestions on how to help bees winter in the wooden hives. My dad has had troubles keeping hives alive through the winter. Mid michigan for region reference. Do you have any references or resources that might help with that?
I have some friends who work for a local honey producer and they get me some every year. Your best bets for advice would be to check with your county agriculture office and/or university extension. Also, most areas have beekeeping clubs which would also be a great source for local knowledge specific to your area.
My neighbours are beekeepers. They likeable enough honey for the bees to overwinter. No sugar water or anything. And they don’t loose any bees. We are way more up North and our winters are longer and colder then yours
@@TheMudbrooker Thank you dear, I love honey, and so does my boy, but he is so wasteful he will open a new jar cause he is too lazy find and use the one he opened earlier, this pisses me off cause real honey is not cheap. He does the same thing to peanut butter. I have to hid the good stuff, cause if he knew where they were , he would do the same thing.
For wound healing, yes, you absolutely need raw honey. However, if you're after bioflavinoids you're far, far better off with a tablespoon of tomato paste than you are a tablespoon of honey. Heat doesn't destroy pollen, and this is unfiltered honey. Lastly, 99% of this honey will be used for cooking, what do you think happens to it in the oven?
If honey reaches 140°F, all the "good stuff" in it is ruined. Would be better to vacuum can the stuff, reducing the oxygen exposure & contamination of long storage but not ruining it with heat.
It's the Immedient use of cooking and eating it "now" vs whacking out your beneficial stuff after 'cooking it' as it sits on the shelf for another 2 years. @@TheMudbrooker
You have THE BEST EXPLANATION!

I won't can honey. Kills the good enzymes.
Found this channel from a 10 year old video on chimney fires. The fact he is still uploading consistently is so cool. Fun to watch videos to.
Amazing upload = informative, and to point (spot-on) timing is perfect for me as we’ve got a LOT of local honey over here ... thanks so much! ♥️
You're welcome.
Doesn’t the heat destroy the properties of the honey?
Of course it does. Honey can last longer then a life time when stored properly.
@@nataliedyck8312 yes it was more of like WTH? Don’t understand why anyone would want to do this to good honey, might as well buy pasteurized 🤣
Karyn D yes i was agreeing with you. And absolutely then just get the store bought honey. Besides cooked honey is toxic.
Beautiful color on the honey. YUM
It's some tasty. :)

Sorry for typos! Mr MUDBROOKER, PLASE AFBISE ME, I HAVE A AT of crystallized honey! I heard good honey even came out from pharaohs tomb!.
Put the jar of honey in a pan of hot (120 degrees F) water and it'll re-liquefy.

what do you recommend doing if honey does crystallize?
Put the container in a pan of hot, it doesn't have to be boiling, water until the honey re-liquefies.
TheMudbrooker thank you :)
We are doing our best to keep our bees warm this fall before winter begins. a couple nights ago the temperature became below freezing.
You could bring them in the house. ;)
TheMudbrooker that is a good idea. We do have a plan for this winter to use the heat from the house to keep Them warm so that might work. :)
Mud, canning honey, what happens if you get water into your jars as you can it up. Will that ruin it/??
No, it won't ruin it. A few drops wouldn't be noticeable and a couple spoonfuls would at worst thin the honey a bit.

Heating honey kills the enzymes in the honey. It will still taste good, but, it won't be as healthy.
You are RUINING perfectly good honey by heating it above 110°F. Duh!
For wound healing, yes, you absolutely need raw honey. However, if you're after bioflavinoids you're far, far better off with a tablespoon of tomato paste than you are a tablespoon of honey. Heat doesn't destroy pollen, and this is unfiltered honey. Lastly, 99% of this honey will be used for cooking, what do you think happens to it in the oven?
By taking the honey above 140*F it is no longer considered raw and you have killed the enzymes and decreased the nutritional/medicinal value, no?
Simple video!
Yeah, it's about as simple as canning can get.
I thought heat destroyed the health benefits of honey. Awesome
Hi Mud!
Hey Joy
Wow what a waste of honey.
If honey reaches 140°F, all the "good stuff" in it is ruined. Would be better to vacuum can the stuff, reducing the oxygen exposure & contamination of long storage but not ruining it with heat.
What do you suppose happens to it when I cook with it, which is what this honey is intended for?
