Health benefits of honey

There is nothing better than good local honey for you and your kids.  Many people eat honey to build tolerances to pollen that cause allergies and hayfever problems.  It contains about the same level of plaque-fighting antioxidants as the leafy green stuff. And according to research presented at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, the range of antioxidants in honey is comparable to that in apples, bananas, oranges and strawberries.  Antioxidants cleanse the body of the free radicals that contribute to serious illness.  In ancient times, Honey was used as a wound dressing, and for skin and hair care treatments; however, it is also a wonderful source of energy, and has few calories. Honey is also an excellent carbohydrate source for post-workout muscle recuperation and energy repletion.

Cooking with Honey

For best results, use recipes developed for using honey. When substituting honey for granulated sugar in recipes, begin by substituting honey for up to half of the sugar called for in the recipe. With a little experimentation, honey can replace all the sugar in some recipes.

When baking with honey, remember the following:

• Reduce any liquid called for by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used.
• Reduce oven temperature by 25°F to prevent over-browning.

Because of its high fructose content, honey has a higher sweetening power than sugar. This means you can use less honey than sugar to achieve the desired sweetness.  Use 1/2 cup of honey for every 1 cup of sugar.

When measuring honey, coat the measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray or vegetable oil before adding the honey. The honey will slide right out.

A 12-ounce jar of honey equals a standard measuring cup.
