This easy homemade hot honey recipe combines local honey, chili powder, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes for the perfect sweet-heat drizzle. Ready in minutes and perfect for pizza, fried chicken, biscuits, and more.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup of honey local organic honey works well
- 1 tsp chili powder or sweet paprika; I'm fancy so I used ground ancho chili powder
- 1-2 tbsp of your favorite hot sauce
- 1-2 tbsp of crushed red pepper flakes; I used one tablespoon; add as much or little as you prefer
- 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp of good olive oil optional
Instructions
- Add honey, chili powder, hot sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, vinegar, and olive oil into a canning jar. Stir well.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat, place the jar (with the lid OFF) in the center of the pot, and add a few cups of water to fill the pot halfway.
- When the water begins to simmer, continue heating the contents for a few minutes; do not allow the water to come to a high boil, as this will ruin the honey's beneficial properties. (About 5-10 minutes)
- Remove the jar from the water bath and allow it to cool; the hot honey will last six (6) months.
