I have  several buckets of crystalized fall honey.  It has a nice, 
fine  texture and is delicious.  My dilemma is: how to transfer it 
into  jars without creating air pockets?



If you warm it gently to the mid 70s F it should flow rather than run and  
will be fluid enough for air pockets to dispel within a short time.  Here  in 
the UK we favour squat 1 pound jars that have an entrance 6cm wide, the  lidded 
jar standing 9.5cm.
