There are honey cured meats and sugar seems to do the same thing as salt. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say sugar pickles. Anyone know? Yes, I googled it.

sugar is a preservative in that a high enough concentration draws enough water out of microbial cells to kill them or prevent their growth
that’s why honey doesn’t spoil
whatever you’re trying to preserve with sugar, you’ll have to use a very high concentration, to the point it’ll become a syrup- or jam-like consistency. so if that’s not a dealbreaker it’s worth a try
