Honey has a Long Shelf Life and can be Stored For a Long Time.
According to the recommendations of the National Honey Board, honey can be stored for up to two years in the pantry. There have been reports of some of them lasting for decades! It is recommended that you do not store honey in the refrigerator as this will shorten its shelf life.
Sugar will crystallize when the temperature is low enough. Because honey crystallizes over time, storing it in the refrigerator renders it unusable after a certain amount of time has passed. If you don’t put any broken food in your honey jar and store it in your cupboard, you should be able to keep it for many years.
