It isn't liquid anymore!
After
less than a week in the jar, the mainly oil seed rape honey we extracted last week has already set solid
enough for a spoon to stand upright, unsupported in it!
The honey is a pale honey colour. The texture is smooth and reminds me of Vaseline in the way it half clings to a spoon in a cowlick shape when you scoop some out.
We like the
flavour which is mild and floral; not at all what you would expect from the
loud and vibrant yellow flowers it’s made from.
How much more solid will it get? I have childhood memories of oil seed rape honey that was so hard it would bend spoons.... Our aim is to eat the honey before it solidifies rock hard and we advise those people to whom we have given jars to try to do the same!
