Ingredients
Hot Honey Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup honey (not raw honey)
- 4 teaspoons red pepper flakes or 6 Thai chiles, minced with seeds
- 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the honey, red pepper flakes or minced Thai chiles, apple cider vinegar, and sliced garlic cloves to a small saucepan and stir to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Heat Sauce: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and warm the mixture until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent burning and ensure the flavors meld together.
- Cool and Store: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the hot honey sauce into a clean mason jar. Allow it to cool completely before covering the jar.
- Store Properly: Seal the mason jar with a lid and store it in a cool, dark place. The hot honey sauce can be kept fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use regular honey instead of raw honey for a smoother texture.
- Adjust heat level by altering the amount of red pepper flakes or type of chili used.
- Stir occasionally while heating to avoid burning the garlic or honey.
- This sauce pairs wonderfully with fried chicken, pizza, roasted veggies, and cheeses.
- Refrigerate after opening to maintain freshness if storing longer than 2 weeks.
