Hey i was finally going to switch from karo to honey and hope it performs better. I got clover grade A honey in the bear bottle.
I use 4ml per 100ml karo : water
Should i use the same ratio for honey too ?

Yes same ratio, just be extra carefull to not overcook during sterilisation.
Honey can caramelize quite easy.

I never liked honey lc, I usually go with 100% maple syrup lc's at 5%. If they work for you, then go for it my friend.

I have no problems with the honey caramelizing after I switched from using the pressure cooker to nuking in the microwave for a minute. I havent had contam problems with it either. Takes a hell of a lot less time too!
