what should I do with uncapped honey

[CaribBeeman]

We opened the hive we got one year ago. there was a frame with capped and uncapped honey.
We are new to beekeeping, so we are impatient to reap some honey, so we took it home.
anyways we cut the comb into pieces and drained off the honey.
What do we do with the honey that came out of the uncapped portion of the frame?

Eat it before it ferments...

If it was only a small percent of the honey, do not worry about it. Commercially if 80 percent of the honey is capped they use it.

You can also dry it out. I run my AC and a heater to dry out the air in my patio where we process the honey. I try to get the humidity below 50%. It  is usually close to 95% here all summer. I put the honey in my settling tank on a table and open the drain just enough to allow the smallest stream to flow out into a bucket on the floor. I can drop the moisture a degree or 2, drying the honey this way.

thanks for the replies. it not a huge amount of uncapped honey.
my question should have been "is it safe to eat?", but you gentlemen have answered that for me. thanks.

Uncapped Honey is never "unsafe to eat" .....its just unsafe to "store" ;-)
