Cinnamon and Honey

Honey is the only food on the planet that (if kept sealed) will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to "sugar". In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will "crystallize". When this happens, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, off the heat, and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it on a medium-to- high level in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
