Laurence Edwards shows how to whip runny honey into a creamy spread using a KitchenAid mixer. Start on low speed and gradually increase, spending 30 seconds at each setting until the honey turns pale amber. Stop before it gets meringue-like, then jar it.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to turn pure runny honey into the smoothest, silkiest, creamiest whipped honey that you can possibly imagine. This technique is so, so simple. All you're going to need to do it is a couple of jars of runny honey and a KitchenAid blender with the balloon whisk. So set up your blender, put the whisk in place, and then you want to pour in 2 to 3 jars of really good quality runny honey. None of that supermarket junk here. Get the best possible honey that you can get from your local beekeeper. Once you've poured that runny honey in, you want to start the blender off really, really slowly. What you don't want to do here is blend in too much air too early. Start the mixer off really slowly, just get it moving, build up that consistency, and then as you move through the progressive speeds, you'll start to incorporate a little bit of air. The idea here is that you're turning it into a thick, spreadable creamed honey. It's almost a whipped honey, but it's not quite whipped. If you whip it too much, you'll turn it into a meringue consistency, and then in my opinion, it's not quite as nice. As you see the honey start to thicken, you can progressively increase that speed on the KitchenAid blender, and you want to go for around maybe 30 seconds at each of the different speeds that you've got on the blender. You'll notice that the honey starts turn color, it gets lighter, and once it's reached the perfect thick consistency, you'll notice that it's turned into a very pale amber, a beautiful consistency of honey. Now all you need to do at this point is scrape out the bowl, pour it into a jar, and you can seal that and keep it for as long as you possibly like. It keeps just like normal honey would.
