Honey cooked to soft ball stage

[Guest guest]

So when a recipe says to cook honey until soft ball stage, I assume that means

on medium-low heat, stirring frequently? How long does it take, on average, to

reach this soft ball stage and will it really form a soft ball? Sorry, not too

smart about cooking honey yet.

You need a candy thermometer.
