This hot honey recipe is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Drizzle it over pizza, salmon, shrimp, veggies, cornbread, Parmesan cheese, even ice cream! It's an easy 3-ingredient spicy honey recipe made with crushed red pepper flakes that adds exciting flavour to many dishes.
Simmer the honey: Start by adding 1 cup honey to a small saucepan along with 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until evenly combined. Over medium-low heat, bring the honey mixture to a simmer. Remove from the heat, then stir in the apple cider vinegar.
Strain: For a mild flavour, let the mixture sit for 5 - 15 minutes, then strain it through a fine mesh strainer into a clean glass jar.
Like it a little stronger? Let the honey and crushed chili flakes infuse a little longer, for 30-40 minutes or so, then strain as above. For an even stronger kick, don't strain the mixture at all. It will continue to infuse with flavour over time.
Store: Store in a clean glass jar with a lid at room temperature. It will keep for up to 6 months.
