Each morning, I line up my breakfast components – oatmeal, chopped nuts, raisins, and honey. I buy my honey from Keown Orchards in pound jars. Spooning honey from these can be messy and leaves the jar in need of regular cleaning to remove the residue. 

Over the years, I’ve tried about every honey and syrup dispenser on the market. They all seem to have their drawbacks. I was about to use one of the sqeeze bottles I keep for various other kitchen uses and did one last search for “squeeze bottle” instead of honey dispenser. 

I found the Japanese Squeeze Bottle you see in the photo. Its attached cap attracted me to it over the alternatives. It comes with different colored caps and has passed my daily use test with flying colors. Plus, it gives me much better control of the amount of honey I’m using.

My tip for filling it is to use the body of a cake decorating syringe. The end that would take a tip goes into the squeeze jar and the honey is poured into the wide end that would have the plunger. I let it sit for a little while after filling and most of the honey drips down into the dispenser. 

Of course, it’s not perfect, an occasional wipe is needed. I seal the top and run warm water over most of the bottle and then wipe it dry and give the tip a wipe with a clean hot dishcloth. But, it doesn’t turn into a big mess the way other honeypots did. 

Don’t you love a simple and inexpensive solution to a daily annoyance? This would make a great gift for a honey lover!
