If your honey foams or smells like alcohol, discard it as it has spoiled. Resist the urge to use boiling hot water to melt crystals as this can damage the color and flavor of the honey. If your honey has crystallized, you can place the container in warm water and stir the honey until the crystals dissolve. Honey stored in the refrigerator will crystallize more quickly. As the honey becomes cloudy, you may even notice crystals in it. This will not make the honey unsafe as long as it has been stored properly. As it darkens, it may lose some flavor or become cloudy. Over time the honey will darken and flavor will change but it will be safe to eat indefinitely. Honey should be stored in a cool, dry area inside a tightly covered container. Improper storage of honey can cause this problem. We often get calls when people discover their honey has darkened or crystallized.

I noticed that the honey packets in the center of the table had darkened and I was thinking about honey on my drive in to work today.
