How To Decrystallize Honey In Sous Vide
Do you have a jar of crystallized honey in your pantry? It's easy to fix using an immersion circulator. In this article, we will show you how to decrystallize honey using the sous vide so you can have liquid honey with all the health benefits intact.
Servings: 1 cup
Equipment
- Large Pot or Sous Vide Water Bath A large pot will work just fine. You just need to make sure there is room to fully submerge the immersion circulator as well as the container of honey.
- Weight Chances are there will be air in the jar which will cause the honey to float. Use a weight or a heavy kitchen utensil in order to keep the honey submerged.
Ingredients
- 1 jar Crystallized Honey in glass or plastic jar
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water that will submerge the immersion circulator and honey jar in the water fully.
- Add the sous vide and set the temperature to 110F. Let it come to temperature.
- Wipe down your honey jar and make sure it is sealed properly. If you can't get a proper seal, you may want to place the honey in a plastic or silicone bag with as much air removed as possible to keep it from leaking.
- Add the honey to the controlled water bath and place a weight or a heavy kitchen utensil on top to ensure it doesn't float.
- Let it sit in the water bath until the honey is smooth and liquid again. This could take anywhere from 1-6 hours depending on how hard your honey is and the amount you have.
- Remove from the water bath and store in a dark place with a consistent temperature for best results. A closed pantry or cabinet works fine.
