From shopping to cooking
Choose
Choose pure honey with a clear origin and intact packaging. Crystallisation is natural and does not indicate spoilage.
Store
Keep tightly closed at room temperature in a dry, dark cupboard. Use a clean, dry spoon and avoid introducing water.
Prepare
Use to sweeten dressings, marinades, yoghurt, drinks and baking; account for its moisture and browning when replacing dry sugar.
How to make the most of it
Good pairings
Pairs well with yoghurt, cheese, nuts, fruit, citrus, mustard, warm spices and roasted vegetables.
How to substitute it
Maple syrup or another liquid sweetener can work, but may alter flavour, moisture and browning.
