Hot Honey
This hot honey recipe is easy to make with honey and fresh or dried chillies
Servings: 48 teaspoons Calories: 22kcal
Ingredients
● 2-3 tablespoons hot chilli flakes (or use crushed dried chillies, or 1-2 fresh hot
chillies, sliced)
● 1 cup honey
● 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
Instructions
1. Add the peppers and honey to a small pot. Heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes to
infuse them with the pepper flavor and heat. Do not allow the honey to boil.
2. Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar (if using). If using fresh peppers, strain
the honey into a jar. If using dried peppers, strain only if desired.
3. Cool and store in an airtight glass container. Makes 1 cup.
Notes
Hot honey made with fresh peppers is more perishable, and should be stored in the
refrigerator. Hot honey made with dried peppers can be stored in a cool, dry place in an
airtight container.
It is best to strain out fresh peppers for safe keeping. You can use these hot peppers for
deserts or cocktails, as they are essentially "candied" or "honeyed", and quite delicious.
Hot honey made with dried peppers and chilli flakes can remain unstrained. The choice is yours if you'd prefer to strain it for a smoother honey.
