I had complained a couple of weeks ago about my goldenrod honey. We were unable to give some away for Christmas gifts because it was too smelly. 

I did a little searching in the archives and found a suggestion to put the jars of solid honey in the dishwasher and run it to liquefy it again. It was stated that the temperature would damage the honey and change the taste. That was OK with me because no one would eat it anyway. I put the honey in and ran it on  a normal wash cycle (with out the drying ). 

It worked great! The honey is liquid and dark golden in color (but cloudy). The flavor is much more mellow. I guess I could give away some now, but my husband and I gave away a store brand clover honey and pretended it was ours! Next year will be the real thing.
