It may be questioned whether it pays to cut off square cans and take the honey in a solid chunk; but it enables one to fill rush orders for candied honey on short notice. Second-hand cans are worth only a few cents; whereas to melt the honey out and re-candy costs fuel and time. warmed up, put it into the cold room again, and so continue with changes of tempera- ture. Stir the honey occasionally, and al- ways make it a rule to have some candied honey mixed with that which you desire to bring to a solid condition, which greatly hastens the process.
