Honey has been around for a long time. in fact it is said to date back to 5500 B.C.E. It is also said to be the most reliable sweetener known to early man. Earlier civilisations used honey for various things and one of such was preservation. Honey was and is a great preservative because of its high concentration of sugar (fructose and glucose). This characteristic of honey enables it to kill any yeast and bacteria cell that may cause contamination by sucking or forcing water out of them.

I really don't know how early man was able to discover this powerful form of preservation using honey; maybe they had their own Google lolx... Okay so lets look at how to preserve your nuts and fruits with honey.
