What is 'Creamed' Honey?

14 years ago

Saw it in Trader Joe's last night, but I didn't have time to really check it out as I was just running in quick before an appt. It looked yummy, but I don't really know what they mean by "creamed"?

Hi Lisa,

I found this on the Betterbee site:

Creamed honey is controlled granulation of honey which results in extremely small sugar crystals. The smaller the crystals the better the creamed honey.

Here is a link that might be useful: Making Creamed Honey

Just like he describes here. It spreads like butter. Not thick like regular honey or dripping.

The problem with microwaving honey is that a microwave creates hot spots and can overheat the honey, mess up the taste and destroy beneficial enzymes. Although I guess it really doesn't matter much unless it's fresh non pasteurized honey. The honey you get in stores isn't nearly as good; because of the pasteurization. I prefer stealing directly from the bees by the 5 gallon bucket. :)

Since honey is the only food that will not spoil (although it will "sugar" eventually), I wouldn't worry about storage, I'd just use it. I use at least a couple of cups a week making honey wheat bread, my favorite recipe takes 1/2 cup for 2 loaves. Sol's Honey Rolls are my usual "go to" white bread recipe and also takes 1/2 cup (I think). I make Jessica's Lime Chipotle marinade which takes 1/2 cup and I make a double batch, using up a cup. Of course, there's always baklava, which takes a couple of cups. If I were you, though, I think I'd do as LindaC suggests, portion it out into quart (or even pint) jars and use it up as needed. That way if/when it does "sugar", you can just put the jar in a sink full of warm water or into the microwave and melt it. Voila, liquid honey, ready for use again. Annie

Honey Oak with what color granite?

It's funny that you phrase it as "matches better". In general when designing around wood-tone cabinets, many people are trying to create a contrast, picking a tone that's either noticably lighter or quite a bit darker than the cabinets. Honey-oak is very medium, so either light or dark could be a good option, and depending on the room you could either go warm browns (cream/chocolate) or cool grays (pale ash, dakr charcoal/black). But I'd think that tan-type colors (the mid-tones) wouldn't look so great.

I want to paint my honey oak kitchen cabinets either a cream or gray .
Q

I have an oak kitchen that I also find drab. Much easier to do a cool backsplash or counter or flooring than to go to the trouble of paining cabinets that were not meant to be painted. Tons of work, and the paint color will eventually become dated and the new owners will either want to rip out or refresh. So not a good investment of time and effort, IMHO. Read up on toning down oak, lots of suggestions. A cool backsplash would draw in the eye and snazz it up much easier, I think. But if you really want to paint, paint away. But I'm not a fan of sad grey kitchens no matter how "warm" the grey, it is mud and rain. White or cream, IMHO. Or go for a color you love, and figure "après moi, le déluge" as far as how it looks to potential buyers. A lot of folks tear stuff out no matter what, to put their taste stamp on things . . .

I never knew how to make it, but I like it. The stuff I've had is thick and smooth, like butter, and doesn't drip off my toast as quickly.

That's interesting, how they make it.

Is creamed honey the same as spun honey? The description sounds the same. I love spun honey! I remember honey and peanut butter sandwiches as a kid. Plain spun honey and cinnamon spun honey! MMmmm mmmm!

Wow! Those links are fascinating! Who knew lol?

I just assumed it was honey that had some kind of dairy product mixed in!

Next time I'm in TJ's I'm going to have to pick some up and check it out! I've never seen it anywhere else.

I was never a huge honey fan, but ever since I started eating that thick Greek yogurt with honey mixed in, I've become more of a fan.

The same as "whipped" honey?

the link says no on whipped or spun, that is, it shouldn't have air in it. Interesting.
