RECIPES
Welcome to all those interested in using honey in their cooking. If you have a favourite recipe please share it with us.
Honey gathered from specific nectar sources can have its own distinctive flavour. Generally, light coloured honey has a milder flavour than dark honey, but both contribute to the flavour and texture of cakes etc.
Honey can be substituted for sugar in most recipes. Weight for weight 1lb. of sugar is equivalent to 1¼lb. of honey.
Ovens
Know your oven. Ovens vary, so times and temperatures given in recipes are for guidance only.
Measuring Honey
1. Using a warm dry spoon, 1 tablespoon = 1oz. = 28 grammes.
2. Using spring scales:
Weigh the jar without the lid.
Note the weight and deduct the amount required for the recipe.
Spoon out the honey until the second weight is reached. The honey spooned out will be the amount required.
3. Using digital scales:
Weigh the container and then zero the scale.
Slowly pour in the honey until the required weight is achieved.
4. Lightly smearing containers and utensils with vegetable cooking oil may help the honey to flow with little adherence.
