Buying & storing

  • A local beekeeper's jar costs more but supports the good kind of agriculture
  • Runny and set are the same honey in different moods
  • Squeezy supermarket bottles are the cheapest route if budget leads

Keep it well: A cupboard is all it needs; if it crystallises, stand the jar in warm water rather than binning it.

Sensible swaps

  • maple syrup
  • date syrup
