Honey is high in fructose, which readily absorbs water in the air. Therefore, honey products tend to be more moist and keep longer. This is especially true for breads made in a bread machine. When baking, you can substitute sugar with equal amounts of honey.

Honey keeps almost indefinitely.
Honey should be kept in tightly closed containers in a cool, dark place or may be stored for a long period of time in the freezer. When in season, you get an extra treat at the Fasts' . . .
