Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 40 ounces Honey
  • 1 cup Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Hot Sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a large heavy saucepan heat the honey, pepper flakes, and hot sauce.
  • When the mixture starts to simmer around the edges, turn down the heat and let the ingredients infuse for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for a few more minutes.
  • Strain out the pepper flakes using a fine mesh strainer into a pouring cup or a flexible plastic container.
  • Pour into clean jars.
  • Attach a label and tie on a wooden honey stick with a ribbon or piece of twine.

Notes

  1. The nutrition facts are for 1 jar (2 ounces) of honey. In reality, a serving would be less than a teaspoon. There are approximately 12 teaspoons per jar so the actual nutritional values can be divided by 12. For example: one teaspoon of the hot honey would be about 29 calories.
2. You can allow some of the pepper flakes in the hot honey for those who like it hot. Extra chili pepper flakes will make it hotter.
3. This hot honey does not need to be refrigerated and should last for months as long as you keep it in a cool dry place with a tight fitted lid.
