Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup wildflower honey
- 1 tablespoon Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Pour honey, chili pepper flakes, Everything but the Bagel seasoning, cayenne pepper, and ginger into a small saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Cook on medium-low heat and allow to simmer for ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until bubbling on sides. Careful not to boil!
- Turn heat off and add vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and allow the mixture to infuse for 15 minutes.
- Add hot honey to mason jar and store in a dark cool place for one month, or refrigerate up to three months for longer shelf life.
Notes
- To strain or not to strain: That's a personal choice! If straining, do so when still warm. It will become quite viscous as it cools.
- If using whole chili peppers, crush them with a mortar and pestle to loosen seeds before adding!
- If refrigeration is chosen, let jar sit for a while to loosen up and re-liquefy the hot honey. A warm water bath can quicken the process.
- Using dried chili flakes, as opposed to fresh peppers, extends the shelf life of Elevated Hot Honey.
- Mix it up and use a combination of your favorite hot peppers for added complexity. A few have been named, but the chili world is your oyster.
- Though there are no perishable ingredients in this Elevated Hot Honey, it is infused, and as such is best used within three months for best flavor.
- This small batch of Hot Honey can easily be scaled up to share with family and friends!
- Customize the recipe according to your spice level. Start low and slow. You can always add spice, but you can't remove it!
- If adding to cocktails, make sure you strain it first! No one wants bits of garlic in their beverage! 😉
