This is the process of making honey without bees. I am not sure about how honey is manufactured on a large scale. What I do know is you must use pure organic cane sugar because I have heard about GMO beets and GMO sugarcane.

Hi Jo Ann – thank you so much for posting! I am so glad you like the website! I think you will enjoy storing your eggs this way. It is a great way to keep from buying eggs during the winter months when chickens don’t lay!

@Chris: I have not had that problem yet. I have seen the milk and cream seperate. The cream normally rises to the top of the jar. I scrap it off with a spoon and make butter. I would try shaking it or using a blender to blend it just slightly – but not too long or it will start to turn into butter. I was told it would keep six months. I froze mine in August and used it up by the first week of January. Also, make sure you are thawing it in the refrigerator, not on the counter top. It takes two to three days to thaw, but let it do so naturally.

Have you ever pasturized your goat milk, frozen it, and then when thawed had–instead of white milk–a separated milk, with what looks like whey on the top and cream on the bottom. Do you need to reheat this to get it to recombine or do you just shake it up vigorously. My grandmother who is 95 cannot drink cow milk so I’ve been freezing it for her after pasturizing. She can only drink a little a week and I’m trying to put some away for her for later use. But we noticed that it will separate after thawing. Any suggestions?? Also how long will it keep in the freezer?

Thank you in advance.

[...] can I get it? I would stay away from the PureVia, Truvia and Stevia Extract in the Raw. You can make your own stevia extract by soaking lots of fresh or dried leaves in grain alcohol (like Everclear) for about a month, or [...]

Yes, you can freeze store bought milk. Be sure to pour it into glass jars. It would freeze the same way.
