The Ball complete book of Home Preserving has a recipe for Spiced Honey. It includes a lemon which would increase the acidity of the honey.
Canning is the process of applying heat to food that's sealed in a jar in order to destroy any microorganisms that can cause food spoilage.
What a weird question!

An unopened jar of borscht can spoil if it was not properly sealed during the canning process or if the jar is damaged, allowing bacteria to enter. Borscht contains perishable ingredients such as vegetables and sometimes dairy, which can spoil over time even in a sealed jar. It is important to check the expiration date on the jar and inspect for any signs of spoilage such as bulging lids, leaks, or unusual odors before consuming.
Any Ball (Atlas or Mason) canning jar that is not a screw top is a collectible. These are no longer produced for canning. They had glass dome tops that were held down by a wire lever, and sealed with a gum-rubber sealing ring. Some screw top canning jars may be collectible items if they are no longer manufactured, or were manufactured by a company no longer in business. I still use my Atlas jars.

In a sealed jar honey will last indefinitely. Honey has been found in Egyptian tombs which was 2,000 to 3,000 years old and still in good condition. Honey that has been kept for some time tends to go cloudy and thicken. The honey is not 'going off', this is a perfectly normal process where the sugars are starting to crystalize out of solution. You can restore the honey to its original condition by gently warming the jar in a bowl of hot water. Be careful not to overheat the honey because that will spoil it.
During canning, the fruit floats to the top of the jar because of buoyancy and the heat involved in the process. As the fruit heats up, air trapped inside it expands and escapes, making it less dense than the surrounding syrup or liquid. Additionally, as the jar is sealed and cooled, the syrup may become denser, allowing the lighter fruit to rise. This phenomenon is common in canning and is typically not a concern for the preservation process.
I sealed the pickle jar after I took out a pickle.
Irradiation preserves food by destroying microbes just as heat does in the canning process. In both processes, the food must have been first sealed in a container e.g., a can, jar, or pouch.
The jar is boiled so that it makes a tight seal in the jar.
