Miel - Marque nationale du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg is an [[AOP]] [[honey]] from Luxembourg which is distinguished from other [[honey]] by its individual character conferred by the bee forage specific to the region. It is a mixed flower [[honey]] with strong notes of white clover, [[fruit]] trees, greater bird's foot trefoil, melilot, dandelion and meadowsweet. The [[honey]] must not contain any foreign matter (e.g. [[sugar]]) and no imported [[honey]] may be added. It contains no residues, inhibines or prolines. It is hard in texture and must not be runny. There are no crystallisation defects and the [[honey]] is perfectly pure, homogeneous and of sustained aromatic quality. It is marketed only in 500g jars.


The description "Miel de Marque Nationale Luxembourgeois" was created in 1948 by means of specific legislation. This was amended by the Regulation of the Government in Council of 5 July 1973 creating a national trade mark for Luxembourg [[honey]], legislation which is still in force.  The [[honey]]'s quality and specific character are due mainly to the highly specific flora and vegetation of the region and to the fact that it is not produced on an industrial scale.
Production is nbot on an industrial scale, and there are some 180 producers with hives all over the country. The [[honey]] is harvested from early spring to late summer, the latter particularly in the case of honeydew [[honey]]. After it has had time to mature and crystallise the [[honey]] is tested chemically and organoleptically before being put on the market.

Honey

The main uses of honey are in cooking, baking, as a spread on breads, and as an addition to various beverages such as tea and as a sweetener in commercial beverages such as Sprecher's root beer.

Honey is the main ingredient in the alcoholic beverage mead, which is also known as "honey wine" or "honey beer" (although it is neither wine nor beer). It is also used as an adjunct in beer. Beer brewed with more than 30% honey as a source of sugar by weight, or mead brewed with malt (with or without hops), is known as braggot or honey beer.

Honey is a good addition to marinades for meat and fish, especially if they are to be barbecued. 4 tablespoons of dark soy sauce and a tablespoon of honey make a great marinade for salmon or tuna.

Runny honey

If you only have set honey and need runny variety, all you need to do is put the required amount of honey in a microwave for 30 seconds or so and it will turn runny.
