Cooking With Honey

1) Improves Browning and Crunchiness - Ideal for glazing roasted and baked foods to promote surface browning.

2) It's a flavor enhancer, and always welcome natural sweetener for hot teas and cold drinks.

3) Provides texture and feel, a great addition to cake and cake making.

4) Extends Shelf Life - A natural preservative for pickles and sauces.

5) Retains moisture, an essential ingredient in moisturizing decadent cakes and extending moisture retention.

6) It's binding because of its viscosity, a brilliant ingredient that helps design desserts like cakes, puddings, and cakes.

7) Add Color - Brings a delicious golden hue to sauces, dressings, jellies, and frozen desserts.

And there are some tips for cooking with honey that I think you will find very useful:

1. When using recipes with honey, use less honey as it is almost twice as sweet as sugar. Restore one cup of sugar with half a cup of honey. Since honey is hygroscopic (that is, it attracts water), reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for every cup of honey added.

2. Allow more time for whipping and more vigorous whipping compared to sugar recipes and when cooking with honey.

3. For every cup of honey you use, add half a teaspoon of baking soda. This neutralizes the acidity of the honey and helps the food rise.

4. Minimize the oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The honey dough becomes crispy and browns faster than sugar dough.

5. If using honey in jams, jellies, or candy, raise the cooking temperature slightly to allow the extra liquid to evaporate.

6. The flowery type of honey should be considered when cooking with honey, as honey gives part of its flavor.
