My first harvest as a novice beekeeper is this fall's aster/goldenrod honey. I don't mind that it's solid but it sure does smell! When I first smelled the frames I was afraid it was foulbood. The beekeepers in my club laughed at me when I brought a frame to the next meeting and told me it was the goldenrod. 

I would like to give away a small jar to friends at Christmas, but it smells so rotten that I think everyone will smile indulgently and pour (well, not pour but plop) it down the sink when I leave. Is there anyway to get rid of the odor? It tastes OK.
