A simple and flavorful hot honey recipe that perfectly balances the sweetness of honey with a spicy kick from crushed red pepper and tanginess from apple cider vinegar. Ready in just 7 minutes, this versatile condiment is perfect for drizzling over pizza, fried chicken, roasted vegetables, or cheese boards.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon crushed red pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the honey, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper in a small pot over low to medium heat.
  2. Heat Gently: Slowly warm the mixture without stirring, allowing small bubbles to form around the edges and the honey to thin out.
  3. Remove and Rest: Take the pot off the heat. You can use the hot honey immediately, or transfer it to a mason jar, cover, and let it rest for about an hour to thicken slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overheat the honey to prevent burning or altering the flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper based on your spice preference.
  • Store leftover hot honey in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
  • This hot honey pairs well with fried foods, grilled meats, cheese, and even drizzled over desserts.
