Course: sauce
Cuisine: American
Servings: 16 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup honey
  • 1-2 Tbsp. red pepper flakes depending on desired spice level
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Add the honey to a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the honey to a boil. Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and mix in the red pepper flakes, vinegar, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk until everything is combined.
  • Let the pepper flakes marinade in the honey for at least 5 minutes or up to 10 before straining. You can also serve as is with the flakes still in the honey for an even spicier kick.
  • If straining, place a fine mesh strainer over a glass jar and pour the hot honey into it. You want to make sure the honey is still nice and warm so it goes through the strainer easily.
