Hot Honey

Have you heard about the new honey craze? Let me tell you about it. Hot honey combines the spice of peppers with the sweetness of honey by simmering them together.

I make commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

Now you can just go out and buy hot honey but that’s no fun, especially when it’s so easy to make your own. And it literally takes just minutes to make a homemade hot honey.

By choosing peppers with different heat levels you can personalize your hot honey and make it as spicy as you want. Add as many or as little as you want to control the heat.

For our Hot Honey recipe, I used a combination of peppers including crushed red pepper flakes, for a kick of flavor.

You can use just jalapenos, jalapenos with red pepper flakes, or an assortment of peppers and flakes as I did. The choice is yours.

Love that extra kick of heat? Be sure to use the seeds too!

So fill your honey jar with this trendy pepper infused honey. You’ll be so happy you did!
