Real raw honey can crystallize. Here's some key causes -

* NECTAR SOURCE: Honey with a high percentage of glucose (vs fructose) will crystallize more easily. So honeys like dandelion, canola and r**e will quickly crystallize - while others like Acacia, Sage, Black Locust, and Tupelo resist crystallization.
* TEMPERATURE: Honey crystallizes faster at cooler temperatures, with the fastest around 57F. BTW - this is an ideal temperature when making creamed honey (to force crystals to grow).
* IMPURITIES: Particles of pollen and beeswax act as "hosts" for the sugar crystals to form around. Additionally, impurities from poor cleanliness in processes can trigger crystallization too. Always sanitize your jars.
* CONTAINERS: Plastic jars are more porous and can hold microscopic particles, catalysts for crystallization... though this is less likely if your bottling processes are sanitary.

To re-liquify crystallized honey, slowly warm the jars in a double-boiler or warm water bath. Do not boil the honey or microwave it either. This is harder to do with plastic jars btw.
