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. |

To measure
honey for a recipe (without a sticky mess),

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!

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. |

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.
