Hi All,
I am a small scale hobbyist beekeeper, selling a few hundred jars a year.
Last week, I had an order for a couple of dozen jars. My remaining stock is sat in a cold room and the honey looks a bit cloudy (nothing too bad). Do I bung them in the oven (low heat) for a couple of hours to clear them? I know they will be going to a cold shop where they may well set anyway.
So I put them in the oven and they come out nice and clear....except some now have a film or "foam" layer on the top. Again, nothing too bad - but should I spend yet more time clearing off the film?
Is it worth doing the extra faffing? I've seen some jars for sale in shops that look awful.
