Freezing comb honey

[Tom H]

I was told that a good way to keep my Ross Rounds until I sold them was to simply package them as usual, spread them out on a cookie sheet until frozen, and then pack them into cardboard boxes in the freezer.
Won't this ruin the flavor? Also, will they thaw out for satisfactory use later?

[Michael Bush]

No, it will preserve the flavor and keep them from crystalizing. Just thaw them while still in the boxes so there's less condensation inside.

I would suggest putting everything in a sealable plastic bag to avoid freezer burn. Honey seems to be okay, but the comb will be extremely brittle and will crumble into bits.


Regards,

Jim

Jim:
Are you saying that the comb is more brittle after freezing than before?
Why is that?
thanks,
Kurt

That has been my experience as well. It pretty well disintegrates when you start to handle it.
