I was asked why a jar of slightly granulated honey which had been stood in warm/hot tap water (45-50'c) would froth up and over flow?
I'm guessing its one or some of these but a definitive answer would be good as I've promised the lady I would email her and let her know.
a. fermenting
b. high water content
c. air trapped in the honey when it crystallized
d. ?
She said she scooped off the bubbles and the honey tasted perfectly ok but wondered why it frothed up to start with.
(PS Not my honey - I was manning a stall at the show on Saturday)
cheers
