It keeps basically forever...as a matter of fact they have even found
honey in some dead mummy's tomb. If is crystallized....pop it in the
wave for 30 sec...if it is still hard...heat it again and so on until it
is not so thick. If you do not have a wave...use a match and hold the
bear over it...it takes longer...but hey...if you are not on the cutting
edge of the 70's...what can I say. One of the reasons honey such as
mine crystallizes is because I do not pasteurize my honey or add water
like commercial honeymakers do. I am just a natural earthy girl you
know. Honey is very sterile and does not need to be pasteurized.
However, market controls for commercial sale require it. The honey I
brought was subjected to very cold temps in the plane hold...so it may
crystallize. You may also see some foam on the top of the bears as you
open them...not to worry...I did wave some of the honey that was
thicker...and the foam is nothing more than the honey sugar.
