Hot Honey

Hot honey is all the rage right now. One bite and you will know why. It’s sweet and a little spicy. I promise this is your new “go-to” condiment.

My New Favorite Honey

Hot honey will blow your mind! If you light a little heat with your sweet then this is the new honey for you. With only three ingredients, it comes together in mere minutes and lasts for months.

Three Ingredients

• Honey – I use standard clove honey that comes from the grocery store. You can substitute and use your favorite type of honey.
• Apple Cider Vinegar – I recommend only using apple cider vinegar as it pairs nicely with the sweet honey to give a slight amount of tanginess.

Let’s Make Hot Honey

1. Place the honey, vinegar, and pepper flakes into a small stove-top pan.
2. Heat on high.
3. Once the mixture turns to a liquid, watch it carefully. When it starts to bubble, remove it from the stovetop.

4. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
5. Transfer to glass jars.

Hot Honey Uses

• Drizzle over grilled chicken or fish.
• Drizzle over vanilla ice cream. For an extra bonus, add a bit of sea salt to the ice cream too.
• Spread it on cornbread.
• Use it on a charcuterie platter.
• Add 1-2 tablespoons to canned baked beans.
• Drizzle it over skewered peaches and gouda cheese (see below).
