| honey as wedding favors [message #59685] |

i'm thinking of using small jars of unheated/unfiltered honey as
wedding favors. the wedding is in the north carolina mountains, and the
honey was created there, so it's a way to let the guests take a part of
the setting home with them.
here's my question - 4 or 8 ounce bottles of the honey is do-able, but
pricey. it would be cheaper to just buy a larger size and then put it
into small bottles myself.
i have never canned or preserved anything before, and i've never worked
with honey. do i need to do anything to the honey after i open the
large container and pour it into the smaller? can i just finger tighten
the lids and be done with it, or do i need to do some other steps to
ensure that it is sealed and not - um - gaining bacteria or something.
i know that you don't refrigerate honey, so i'm guessing that it won't
spoil as such.
please forgive me for my ignorance, i really am new to this whole
venture. any help would be appreciated.
