In the multitude of counsellors there is

The Flavor or Liquified Candied 

 Honey. 



Query 994.— After candied honey has 

 been liquified by heat, is it inferior to its 

 former quality ? — Wash. 



G. M. Doolittle— No. 



Jas. A. Stone — I think not. 



Eugene Secor — Not if properly done. 



W. R. Graham — It is not so well liked. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— Not if it is rightly 

 done. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — Not if properly 

 done. 



W. G. Larrabee — Yes, if it is heated 

 too hot. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I think not, if prop- 

 erly done. 



P. H. Elwood — Yes, unless very care- 

 fully done. 



J. A. Green — No, if it has been prop- 

 erly liquified. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — No, not if prop- 

 erly managed. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — No, not if melted 

 at a low temperature. 



B. Taylor — No. If the liquifying was 

 properly done, it improves it. 



Rev. M. Mahin — It is, unless the liqui- 

 fying is done with very great care. 



C. H. Dibbern — I think not, unless the 

 heat is up to about the boiling point. 



R. L. Taylor — Not if the liqnifaction 

 is carefully done at the lowest convenient 

 temperature. 



J. M. Hambaugh — No, not necessarily. 

 The flavor is often injured by allowing 

 it to become too hot. 



H. D. Cutting — No, not if you did not 

 let it get too hot. If you heat it too hot, 

 it will impair the flavor. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott — No, not if properly 

 done. I can liquify it a number of times 

 and no one can tell the difference. 



W. M. Barnum — I have never detected 

 any difference in the quality ; but it is 

 quite probable that too much heat would 

 be detrimental. 



E. France — I don't think the honey is 

 quite equal in quality after melting. I5ut 

 few folks like candied honey, or at least 

 they don't buy it in that shape. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Yes, if it has 

 been heated to the boiling-point of 

 water. Yet, it remains a first-class 

 sweet, though with less flavor. 



J. M. Jenkins — No, unless overheated. 

 It is not necessary to cook or boil it to 

 liquify honey; and care should be taken 

 to use only enough heat (hot water) to 

 attain the desired result. 



Allen Pringle — My opinion is, that 

 honey is at its best a few days after 

 being extracted, when it is fully ripe. 

 No matter how ripe the honey is when 

 extracted, I think the taste is improved 

 somewhat by allowing it to stand ex- 

 posed in a warm, dry place for a short 

 time. It loses the pungency to some ex- 

 tent, without deteriorating in flavor. 

 On the contrary, when candied honey is 

 liquified, it should not be left exposed at 



all, but sealed up tight at once while it 

 is hot. The exposure in the one case 

 improves it, while in the other it dete- 

 riorates it. If the honey has been prop- 

 erly handled from the start, and is liqui- 

 fied right, and put up at once, as above, 

 it will be nearly as good as ever, but nvt 

 quite. The flavor may be about as good, 

 but that fragrant aroma is partially lost. 

 G. W. Demaree — Not if it has been 

 melted under glass by the heat of the 

 sun. Put your candied honey in small, 

 bright tin buckets ; set them in a shal- 

 low box, covered with glass (like a solar 

 wax-extractor) ; put the lids loosely on 

 the buckets. In this way you may melt 

 100 or more pounds, each clear day, 

 and the delicious odor of new honey will 

 apparently be restored. I use my solar 

 wax-extractor to melt candied honey, 

 and it does the work well.
