This article about using honey as a "fixative"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3768083/
contends that you can use honey, jaggery sugar (look that up in Wikipedia),
or sugar syrup as a "fixative".

What you're doing with honey is creating a transport medium - like the
chemically more sophisticated "Streck medium" and others promoted to us a
few years ago - that preserves the tissue until it can fix in alcohol in
the processor.
