🍯 Honey as a Sweetener: Preserves, Confectionery and Creative Flavour Pairings

Interactive 3D flavour-pairing wheel letting users combine honey varietals with fruits and spices, alongside a preserve-jar model showing how sugar concentration affects shelf stability.

A 3D flavour-pairing wheel connects honey varietals to fruits and spices by affinity, while a linked preserve jar shows how rising sugar concentration lowers water activity and locks out spoilage.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each honey varietal has a distinct flavour affinity to eight fruits and spices, visualised as glowing arcs. Separately, the preserve jar models how °Brix (sugar concentration) drives water activity down, the same osmotic principle that keeps honey and jams shelf-stable.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a honey varietal and a pairing ingredient to see the harmony score and pairing style update. Drag the sugar concentration slider to watch spoilage-risk particles thin out and shelf-stability sparkles appear as °Brix climbs.

💡 Did You Know?

Honey's water activity sits around 0.5–0.6 — far below the ~0.91 most bacteria need to grow — which is why sealed honey essentially never spoils.
