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 honey go rotten?

Rotting is usually the result of bacterial action, but honey has natural antibacterial properties.
Honey is principally a saturated or supersaturated solution of a mixture of sugars with traces of other things which give it its flavour. It is hygroscopic so any bacteria in contact with it are quickly dessicated and die, and yeasts and fungi cannot develop in such a high sugar concentration. In addition to this, one of the bees' enzymes -- glucose oxydase -- converts a small amount of the glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which adds to the bactericidal action.
Honey should never be watered down unless for immediate use otherwise the natural yeasts that are present in the honey may cause fermentation. For this reason also containers should always be kept capped otherwise the hygroscopic honey will absorb moisture from the atmosphere and gradually dilute itself.

Is honey sweeter than sugar?

All sugars aren't the same. There's glucose, maltose, dextrose etc. All different molecular weights, sources and sweetness.

Honey is sugar (probabley fructose etc from plants, tho some apiarists feed the bees cane sugar solutions for qicker yields) with some water (to make it fluid). Sugar (e.g. cane sugar) is usually a solid. So the fluid might represent a non-honey component - so sugar wins.

How do you store honey once it has been opened?

Nope, sure doesn't. If it crystalizes while in the cupboard, it is not bad, just place the container in warm/hot water and it will thin again. This doesn't affect the taste.

Honey has been used as a preservative for ages. In times that there were no refrigerators and there were no naturally cold places to use, we used honey, salt and oil for preserving food. Honey is practically a sort of sugar with a high osmotic value. This means it drains the fluids from the food that it's in. And not all bacteria or fungi can live on it. These organisms decrease the chances of food staying good.

Pure honey will do a great job of preserving itself for at least months outside the refrigerator.

Putting it in the fridge however won't hurt it, might preserve it even longer, but will be harder to make sandwiches from.

Honey has been found it the pyramids after 2000 years and is still good. I don't think the ancient egyptians had Amana refrigerators.
