It's i honey of o food
BY DEBBIE KOONTZ
LITITZ One of the most
confusing and yet tempting foods
on grocery shelves seems to be
delectable, delicious honey.
To those whq have used it, it
becomes a regular addition to
favorite reapes. For those who
haven’t, the food “sounds” like it
would be good.
Because a lot of foods require
honey, they are often cast aside in
search of another recipe because
the cook doesn’t understand honey
or doesn’t have it readily available
on his or her shelf.
So, to make honey another
cooking conquest for you, here is,
please pardon the praise,
everything you’ve ever wanted to
know about honey, but just didn’t
bother to ask.
The Air System With A Mind Of Itsjwn
Until now, most ventilation systems had
one drawback. Air inlets had to be opened
and closed by hand.
This was time consuming and pretty
much a matter of guesswork.
Now, Chore-Time has eliminated this pro
blem.
The Chore-Time system has a mind of its
own and adjusts inlets in conjunction with

Perhaps the best hint m working
with honey is to remember that it
absorbs and retains moisture.
Thus honey keeps baked products
fresh longer. But this also means
that uncovered, honey will lose
flavor and aroma because it ab
sorbs moisture.
Other suggestions come from the
Pennsylvania State Beekeepers
Association:
Honey is a natural, unrefined
food. It is safe and wholesome,
since bacteria cannot live in honey.
Honey is available in a variety of
forms; liquid, comb, chunk, cut
comb, solid (sometimes called
granulated or finely crystallized),
and creamed (a finely crystallized
honey of creamy consistency).
When buying honey: The color
and flavor of honey depend on the
-1.
flowers from which bees gather the
nectar. It comes in a wide range of
colors, from crystal white through
several shades of amber. The
flavor, too, depends on the kind of
flowers from which bees gather the
nectar. Flavors range from the
“lightness” of clover to the
“sharpness” of buckwheat.
To store honey: Keep liquid
honey in a cool dry place. Avoid
damp storage places because
honey can absorb and retain
moisture. Do not refrigerate; this
hastens granulation. While
freezing does not injure color or
flavor, it may hasten granulation.
Honey is a quick energy food
because it is composed of simple
sugars, dextrose and levulose, that
doesn’t require digestion by the
human body. For this reason, it is
often used as a quick energy
source by athletes and sportsmen.
In a cake or cookie recipe that
calls for other sweetening, the
fan operation to maintain air pressure at a
constant, preset level.
This provides a degree of air and moisture
accuracy never before possible in poultry and
livestock buildings.
The new inlet control (pictured) is just one
of many exclusive features that make Chore-
Time air systems number one in performance
and reliability.
HOOD FAN
general rule is to reduce the
amount of liquid one-quarter cup
for each cup of honey used. Honey
may be substituted for sugar cup
for-cup. When honey is substituted
in baked goods, add 1/2 teaspoon
baking soda to the recipe for each
cup of honey used, and bake at a
lower temperature. When using a
recipe formulated for honey, no
such changes are necessary.
So try honey in your next recipe
for a honey of a meal. Some more
easy honey recipes are:
