Cooking with Honey
To substitute honey for sugar in recipes, start by substituting up to half of the sugar
called for. With a little experimentation, honey can replace all the sugar in some
recipes.
Here is a table of proportions to help you out.
| Total Sweetening | Honey Requirements |
| 2 cups (32 Tbs.) | 1/2 cup (8 Tbs.) |
| 1 1/2 cups (24 Tbs.) | 6 Tbs. |
| 1 cup (16 Tbs.) | 1/4 cup (4 Tbs.) |
| 3/4 cup (12 Tbs.) | 3 Tbs. |
| 1/2 cup (8 Tbs.) | 2 Tbs. |
When baking with honey, remember the following:
Reduce any liquid called for by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.
Add l/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used.
Reduce oven temperature by 25° F to prevent over-browning.
Because of its high fructose content, honey has a higher sweetening power than sugar.
This means you can use less honey than sugar to achieve the desired sweetness.
When measuring honey, keep in mind that one 12-ounce jar of honey equals a standard
measuring cup.
When measuring honey, coat the measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray or vegetable oil
before adding the honey.
The honey will slide right out.

Storing Honey
To retain honey's wonderfully luxuriant texture, always store it at room temperature; never in the refrigerator. If your honey becomes cloudy, don't worry. It's just crystallization, a natural process. Place your honey jar in warm water until the crystals disappear. If you're in a hurry, place it in a microwave-safe container and heat it in the microwave on HIGH for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Remember, never boil or scorch honey.
Recipes
Here are a couple of recipes we use regularly.
Rice Krispie Treats
1 cup honey, 1 cup peanut butter, 7 to 8 cups
Rice Krispies
Heat honey 4 mins. in microwave at 1 min. intervals (stir each minute.)
Stir in 1 cup peanut butter then stir in the Rice Krispies and let cool.
We put ours in the freezer until ready to serve.
You can also substitute Corn Flakes for the Rice Krispies.
Honey S'mores
2/3 c. honey, 2 Tbsp. margarine or butter, 1 (11
1/2 oz.) pkg. milk chocolate chips,
1 tsp. vanilla, 8 cups grahams cereal, 2 cups miniature marshmallows
Butter rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Heat honey, margarine, and chocolate chips to boiling in 3 quart saucepan, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour over cereal in large mixing bowl; toss quickly until completely coated with chocolate. Fold in marshmallow, 1 cup at a time. Press mixture evenly in pan with buttered back of spoon. Let stand until firm, at least one hour. Cut into about 1 1/2 inch squares. Store loosely covered at room temperature. Makes about 48 squares. We put ours in the freezer until ready to serve
Sweeten your Kool-Aid with Honey!
Add 3/4 cup of honey with 1 package of Kool-Aid. (for best results add warm water to dissolve honey & Kool-Aid.) You may have to adjust the mixture to your taste, using more or less honey.
Enjoy!!
