Note the following tips when using honey:

Cooking Tips

When you substitute honey for granulated sugar in recipes:

- Because of its high fructose content, honey is judged to be twice (2 X) as sweet as sugar. Therefore, to get the same sweetness as sugar, you use one half (1/2) as much as you would of sugar. Sweetness is a very individual taste. You should experiment with the amount of honey substituing between 1/2 and 1 times the amount of honey as sugar.

- Reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used in baked goods.

- Reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees F to prevent over-browning of baked goods.

For best results, use recipes developed for using honey.
Honey adds a sweet, smooth and distinctive taste to food. Honey also absorbs and retains moisture. These qualities help keep baked goods moist and fresh longer.
A 12-ounce jar of honey equals a standard measuring cup.

NOTE: Honey should not be fed to infants under 1 year of age. Honey is a safe and wholesome food for older children and adults.
