How do you make honey bacon?

You can take the easy way out and buy it . or buy slab bacon and marinte it. Pierce it and baste with the honey morning and night. This will draw some moisture out , so drain it once a day . This is similar to sugar curing, so the longer you do it, the more intense the flavor will become. I would not suggest over three days in the fridge . if you have access to a walk in, do it hanging . The other option is to smoke it over applewood chips soaked in honey/water mix . There is no quick way. You can dry rub with a brown sugar mix, cover with a barely damp gauzy cheesecloth. Keep either alone in a veg bin , or everything in the fridge will pick up the smell.

Does microwaving honey ruin it?

Yes it can, but in a microwave safe container and I would personally cover the container since if the honey gets on the inside of the microwave it will not be easy to clean up.
