Margaret,
We crushed the honey using a 1x2 board that I cut for this purpose. The comb and honey was dumped into the 5 gallon bucket (that had holes drilled in the bottom) and then we just crushed, crushed and crushed, like crushing grapes, really.
The honey quickly started flowing through the holes and into the bucket below. It worked perfectly.
As for the taste, it is hard to describe. Very complex, mellow and sweet. We've had such a great year here for flowers and we have so many different things growing in the wilderness around us. Most of this honey was produced from wildflowers growing in our bottomland.
