- double boiler or equivalent
- containers
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1 raw jalapeno pepper (red or green)
Instructions
- Measure 1 cup of raw honey into a glass cup or other container. Place this in a double boiler set on low. We want to gently warm it but do not bring to a boil.
- Thinly slice one jalapeno pepper. Discard the end and the stem.
- Once the honey is warm, add the sliced jalapeno and stir well. Let this mixture steep for 10 minutes. Do not over heat.
- Remove pan from heat. Use a strainer to remove the pepper slices and seeds from the jar.
- Seal in a jar with a tight lid. **If you leave pepper slices in the jar - use within a couple of days or place in the refrigerator.The excess moisture from the pepper slices could cause the honey to ferment if left on the counter.
Notes
** Be sure to label your jar of hot honey to avoid mistakes in the kitchen
** This recipe produces a mild pepper flavor. To create even more heat use 2 or 3 jalapenos or steep for a longer period.
** If you want to create a really hot product - use ghost peppers or Carolina Reapers.
