She's a year. I guess I could give it to her?

[Lisa]

Hmm.

(I didn't even read the recipe)

I would just make sure what you have is pasturized. Do they do that? They do, right.

Question of the Week
Q. I seem to remember something about not giving honey to small children. Can you tell me the age? I am inquiring about a 2 year old taking honey for allergies. Susan, Bella Vista, Ar
A. The general warning is that you should not feed honey to infants under twelve months of age. It should be fine for a two year old, and I have heard of using a daily teaspoon of raw honey as a treatment for allergies. It has something to do with the pollen and other substances in the raw honey helping the patient to build up some immunity to whatever they are allergic to, but you would think that it would trigger their allergies and make them worse until that happens. If not, then great, maybe give it a try.

:dunno:

I DO have molasses, though. And corn syrup. And sugar, of course. It's only 1/3 of a cup.

I have a cook book that tells how to use honey instead of sugar...2/3 cup honey for each cup of sugar.


But the reason children under one can't have honey is because they could get botulism from it(it contains botulism spores), their digestive tracts don't have what it takes to handle it correctly until they are one. That is for uncooked products with honey. Alison should be fine with honey. :)

[Dar]

So baking with it should be okay, then, right? Cool.

[Sonny]

Yep. :agree:

Can you use the sugar free imitation honey? It has SA's in it so I wouldn't use much, but if you are only using a small amount it should be okay. I use it sparingly and it does taste exactly like real honey.:eat:
