Here's a Super Easy Trick to Dissolve the Crystals in Your Honey Jar
Want your crystallized honey back to its normal smooth and runny consistency? Try this!
Even if you eat a lot of honey, you've probably had a jar of it long enough to discover one day, out of the blue, little crystals have formed inside.
There's nothing wrong with crystallized honey and many people actually like it for its more solid texture and the extra bit of crunch that the crystals add.
However, sometimes what you need is that thin, runny, perfectly smooth consistency that your honey once had. Here's how to get it back!
All you need is a bit of heat.
The easiest method is by simply using the microwave. Place the jar inside and heat for 30 seconds to a minute on medium heat. The only downside to this quick fix is that the results will be temporary, as the honey will gradually re-crystallize after it fully cools down.
For a slightly longer-lasting method, place the honey jar in a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water and stir it until it loosens up and resumes a runny consistency. This takes a bit more time, but it will keep the crystals away for longer.
