"Honey, I'm home!" is such a sweet melody to my ears. Anytime anyone makes it home safe, I am a happy camper and I thank God. Seeing our loved ones walk through the door is simply a blessing. With that being said, I took some perfectly sweet honey and gave it a little kick. You guys! This homemade hot honey recipe is so simple, that you will love it!
Sweet + Heat Honey
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 c honey (your favorite Brand)
• 1/2 T. hot sauce (optional)
• 1 T crushed red pepper flakes (adjust for your preferences)
• 1-2 dehydrated peppers
INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. You'll want to simmer this good stuff for about 2-3 minutes with continuous stirring. Pour this perfectly sweet + heat pairing into a small, heat-proof jar. Cover with a lid and refrigerate for 1-2 months.
This can be used as a marinade or as a drizzle. My favorite is to drizzle it over fresh basil, tomato, and mozzarella; pizzas; and shrimp skewers. This little jar of goodness is a great gift idea as well!
