A honey dipper drizzles hot honey into a small glass jar on a wooden surface, with a small bowl of red pepper flakes and a blue cloth nearby.

Hot Honey

This homemade condiment is just the right mix of hot and sweet. It combines honey with fiery red pepper flakes and hot sauce.
Yield: 0.5 cup
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 18 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Mist a small to medium saucepan with oil spray and warm over medium heat. Add honey, red pepper flakes and hot sauce, and stir to combine.
  • When gentle bubbles start to form around the edges, remove from heat and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes (the red pepper flakes will infuse spice into the honey as it sits).
  • Strain honey by pouring it through a mesh colander or strainer. Discard leftover red pepper flakes.
  • Use hot honey on chicken, eggs or roasted veggies, spread on toast or even drizzle over ice cream or pizza. You can store leftover honey at room temperature for at least several months (three or more).
