Mom made a Costco run. I asked her to get a couple of things for me
while she was there. Somehow she felt I also needed a 1/2 gallon of
honey. There is no friken way I will eat that much toast.

Any ideas? I use both a Weber bullet and kettle. Can you freeze honey?

You can use a little up in jerky. Another use is a great sauce for
pulled pork:

1/3 honey
1/3 mustard
1/3 cider vinegar

glazed ham or pork loin

No need to freeze. Honey is nearly immortal as long as you don't dilute it.

I'm a contractor. If you want an opinion, I'll sell you one.
Which one do you want?

That gave me the chuckles. Don't worry about the honey. It will keep all
by itself. The bees discovered something a million years ago that mankind
has apparently not figured out yet. It doesn't matter if it's opened or
not.
Just keep the lid on it so crap doesn't get in.

Sometimes honey will crystallize a little around the top. Just heat the jar
gently in a pot of water until it dissolves again and then pretend it never
happened.

I've never seen honey crystallize around the top, but I have seen it
crystallize in the bottom of a container. In fact, I've seen a whole
quart of honey crystallize almost entirely.

I just saw on TV that the microwave is good for melting crystals in honey
as well as heating on the stove or even in a warm oven. I wouln't want to
get it too hot though.

Simple and sounds excellent! Thanks

I have also reheated honey to desolve the crystalization in a Microwave...
just make sure the opening of the jar is as wide as the rest of the jar, or
else you take the chance of the jar either exploding, or breaking as a
minimum. Microwave heating has it's place, but the container shape is pretty
important.

So is the material. I've seen plastic melt from the heat generated in the
mw while heating bbq sauce.

Honey has been know to last decades with just being in a jar.

Add some to bbq sauce if you like it on the sweeter side. Make a glaze of
honey and mustard and paint it on ribs just before taking them off the
smoker.

Toasted rye bread, butter, drizzled with honey and a cup of tea. Great meal.
