I just found in the back of the pantry a small bucket of local honey I bought at the Farmers Market - it tastes strong and has gone dark but am wondering if it is safe to use it -

I have read that honey is the only food that does not spoil. I found that it went quite sugary when it gets old.

It will be ok. Made Ricebubble Slice not long ago with very dark honey.

It's fine, honey shouldn't go off, though its consistency may change.It's very weather-sensitive.

They found edible honey in some of the tombs in Egypt, because of the antibiotic propertys it lasts for ever.

I think it crystalizes with age, you could try heating it up carefully, use it in cooking, you sure won't get food poisoning!

Honey is PERFECT in the 'get thru' emergency kit - especially manuka, which is very medicinal - and a good grafting agent.
