How to infuse honey or another long term storage ideas?

Good morning! My question stems from the current situation going on in our country right now.
What I have is a FX420 butter machine and 7 plants that I am thinking I want to process into honey. I am thinking that I could put into everything from quart Mason jars to straws filled with honey and that would be used for bartering and trading.
How do I infuse the honey? I've done some research and I'm getting confused. Do I make a alcohol tincture, cook off the alcohol and then put concentrate and honey into butter machine?
What I am aiming for is long shelf life and something that most anybody will use. Any ideas, suggestions, tips or advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I would be hesitant to use this method as a quick Google search about heating honey returned this:

"Heating up to 37°C (98.6 F) causes loss of nearly 200 components, part of which are antibacterial. Heating up to 40°C (104 F) destroys invertase, an important enzyme. Heating up to 50°C (122 F) for more than 48 hrs. turns the honey into caramel (the most valuable honey sugars become analogous to sugar).Aug 20, 2019"

Perhaps there is a less destructive method of infusing.

I know people are making infused syrup, edibles and oils but not sure which has the longest shelf life, maybe hash by my guess
