How do you stop honey from crystalizing?

It is driving me nuts!

I usually sit mine in warm water.

Not sure

Put it in a bowl of hot water and it will liquify again.

yes, heating up the honey will make it liquid again, but freezing it in the first place (it will not solidify) prevents the crystals from forming.

Cool thanks

I never knew that, I just put mine in warm water too.

I also buy it in small amounts since the local organic honey is sooooo expensive. That way its all gone before it crystalizes.

Rhonda's right.  I threw out crystalized honey until I learned from a beekeeper that it is perfectly good.  Just reheat it.  I didn't, however, know about the freezing.  Thanks, as always, Rhonda!  =)

I haven't tried it myself, yet.  We go through a 5 lb. jar in about 6 weeks so it doesn't have time to crystallize. LOL  This is just a little tip I heard.
