I have a jar of honey that I bought about a month ago. Over the last week, I noticed that it began to crystalize. I store it in a room temp cabinet - if that helps. The expiration date on it isn't until 08. It won't kill me, will it?... because it's still delicious!

It got cold or was refrigerated
You can place the jar in a pan of warm water (not boiling) to restore it.
If its raw honey high temps will breakdown many of the beneficial properties in the uncooked honey. So just use water warm water from the tap it will take a little longer but will preserve all of the benefits of natural honey. If its store bought and is pasteurized then its already been heated so a stove top simmering won't matter.
Absolutely nothing wrong with crystallized honey it doesn't spoil

It's fine. Honey just does that sometimes. You can stick the jar in a pot of simmering water to dissolve the crystals, and it's good as new.

Granulation is a natural characteristic of pure honey which does not harm it or indicate any deterioration of the honey. It is also easily reversed by carefully heating the honey container in hot water.
