5. I dug out my never used double boiler

That I got with my set of pots and pans forty + years ago. I'll try heating the bottles tomorrow for an extended time. I think the problem with my approach today is that the heat is only in short bursts. To re-crytallize, they probably need to be heated for more like half an hour or more.

Once it is liquid - if it ever does - I will pour the honey into a wide mouth jar and use in the next few batches of bread. For eating with stuff I prefer tupelo honey - it is not as cloying as the clover and rainforest honey that these jars are.

One source recommended heating water in a slow cooker for however long it takes - maybe I could put the double boiler insert into the slow cooker - but maybe that is not even needed if I do that. I could heat water in my electric tea kettle to get it started quickly.
