Hi All
In Canada the commercial packers use 750ml jars for 1kg honey. They
put out honey at precisely the maximum water content allowed. 750ml
= 26 imp fl oz = 25.36 US fl oz. 1 lb = 454gm. Therefore 1 lb honey
= 11.5 US fl oz = 11.8 imp fl oz = 340.5 ml. If your honey is lower
water content than allowed your 12 US fl oz jars will hold more than
1 lb of honey. I have seen people in the grocery comparing local
honey (better flavour, lower water content etc) with commercial brand
honey and choosing the latter because the local honey jar wasn't full
(still had 1kg honey in it) and had a layer of bubbles on top. Raise
the level of the honey in the jar and raise the price accordingly.
