We aim to look at how you go that little bit further to produce honey for the Show table. Just as with livestock at the Show, the competitors spend time turning an everyday animal into a perfectly washed, groomed and polished specimen. It&#8217;s the same with honey. We have on show two perfectly good, wholesome jars of honey straight from stock, but how do you achieve that little extra to present it as &#8216;Show Honey&#8217;? Nick will now take you through those steps to produce the SPARKLE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nick. Processing Run Honey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The schematic below shows the steps necessary for processing run honey. Liquifying (if the honey is set), straining to remove debris, settling to remove bubbles and conditioning to produce the sparkle.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-1.png\" alt=\"Scheme for processing run honey\" class=\"wp-image-13282\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Scheme for processing run honey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much heating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honey subjected to heating will produce a breakdown substance called hydroxymethylfurfuraldehyde (HMF) which has a legal limit in honey of 40mg\/kg honey. The graph below shows the relationship between Time and Temperature. Following the blue dashed lines, a temperature of 40\u00b0C for c9days will reach the 40mg limit, whereas a temperature of 50\u00b0C will only take 2-3 days to reach the same amount. At 60\u00b0C the safe limit is well under 1 day!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1548\" height=\"1533\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-HMF-graph2.png\" alt=\"Graph of Temperature vs Time for HMF production\" class=\"wp-image-13281\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>HMF depends on temperature and time<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liquify<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be achieved by either heating in a warming cabinet (below left) or a bain marie (below right). Stirring occasionally will speed up the process. Hooper suggests 52\u00b0C for 2 days. Basterfield Honey Farm suggest &#8216;up to 50\u00b0C&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"578\" height=\"422\" data-id=\"13283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-2.png\" alt=\"Warming cabinet\" class=\"wp-image-13283\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Warming cabinet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"536\" height=\"609\" data-id=\"13284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-3.png\" alt=\"Bain marie\" class=\"wp-image-13284\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bain marie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the hobbyist beekeeper, straining immediately the honey is removed from the hive and spun from the frames is an easy option (below left). The honey is still warm so will flow through your straining system easily. Double stainless sieves recommended (coarse followed by fine) as they can be quickly washed and dried if blocking occurs.<br><br>Straining liquified honey can cause problems with sugar crystals blinding the mesh. The heated sieve (below right) is a useful piece of kit for speeding up the operation. The heated conical mesh is 350 micron, followed by a 200 micron straining cloth over the settling tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"440\" height=\"679\" data-id=\"13285\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-4.png\" alt=\"At extraction\" class=\"wp-image-13285\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At extraction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"689\" data-id=\"13286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-5.png\" alt=\"Heated sieve\" class=\"wp-image-13286\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Heated sieve<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Settle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Settling allows any bubbles to rise to the top of the tank prior to bottling. Without settling your honey jars will look like the example on the left. Settling should produce sparkling honey shown on the right. Hooper suggests &#8217;24 hours in a tall, narrow tank&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"410\" height=\"615\" data-id=\"13287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-6.png\" alt=\"Settling tank and bottling\" class=\"wp-image-13287\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Settling tank and bottling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"476\" height=\"481\" data-id=\"13288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-7.png\" alt=\"Not settled (L) vs settled (R)\" class=\"wp-image-13288\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Not settled (L) vs settled (R)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Condition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conditioning removes all the remaining tiny crystals and will ensure clear sparkling run honey for 3-6 months. Hooper recommends 62\u00b0C for 1 hour. Basterfield Honey Farm recommend 62\u00b0C for 30 mins.<br><br>See images below. In either case, add the water to just below the lid. Jars should not sit directly on a hot metal container. <strong>Cool rapidly<\/strong> after heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"469\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"13289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-8.png\" alt=\"Using kitchen equipment\" class=\"wp-image-13289\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Using kitchen equipment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"463\" height=\"578\" data-id=\"13290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sparkle-Honey-slide-9.png\" alt=\"Using a bain marie\" class=\"wp-image-13290\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Using a bain marie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">John.
