How long will the “honey” last in the jar?
Much like regular honey this “honey” has an indefinite lifespan. The main thing is to check and stir it up every day. If it crystalizes just pop it in the microwave a couple seconds when you are ready to use it
Hi. Can you tell me how the weight compares to honey? My favourite recipe calls for 175g of honey but I’m not sure how much of this I will need? Can’t wait to try it! Thanks!
This measures out the same as honey. If your recipe calls for 175 gram of honey use 175 grams of this honey substitute
