What’s the Difference Between Liquid Honey and Creamed Honey?
You may be wondering what the difference is between liquid honey and creamed honey. Simply put, liquid honey is the natural form of honey and the way that it is stored by bees in their hives.
To make creamed honey, liquid honey is mixed with seed honey and then churned. The mixture is then left to cool for a few days which gives it a more solid texture.
In terms of usage, you would more typically use liquid honey for baking and cooking. Creamed honey is more commonly used as a spread for toast.

How do you Dice a Pineapple?
Although it’s possible to buy pineapple pre-diced at the supermarket, learning to dice pineapples at home will save you money and offer better flavor as they will be fresher.
To start, slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple and then discard the stalk. You will then need to cut off the skin so that most of the brown eyes have been gotten rid of. Using a paring knife or a peeler, dig out the rest of the brown eyes from your pineapple. Finally, you can cut out the core of the pineapple. An easy way of doing this is laying the pineapple on its side and cutting into rings, cutting out the core of each one.
Once your pineapple has been cored, you should be ready to start dicing.
