How to store manuka honey

Often honey can crystalise if it gets too cold, whether it's been left out on a bench in winter or it's been accidentally placed in the fridge. No need to panic, we've got a simple solution to get your honey looking great again.
If your Manuka honey does crystalise, you can gently heat it back up to a liquid state. Carefully scrape it out of the jar and place it either in a small pot and gently heat on the stove, or place it in a heatproof bowl and microwave on low, checking every 10 seconds or so - it doesn't take long, depending on how much honey you are heating.
You can gently stir to melt the remaining crystals and then leave it to cool slightly and put it back in the jar, or another clean container with a lid.
