Hot Jalapeño Honey

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 to 3 large jalapeños, cut into ¼-inch slices

Instructions
 

  • Transfer the honey and sliced jalapeños to a saucepan. 
  • Over medium heat, stir and bring the mixture to a low boil. 
  • Turn off the heat and continue to slowly stir the honey until the bubbling stops. 
  • Leave the saucepan on the burner until the honey has completely cooled; this will take about 90 minutes.
  • Once cooled, transfer it to a clean food-safe jar, with an airtight cover and keep refrigerated. 
  • The Hot Jalapeño Honey will last, if kept refrigerated, for 3 to 6 months.

Notes

It is completely normal for honey to crystallize when stored in the refrigerator, especially when ingredients are added to it. This will not happen immediately, but after a few weeks, the honey may be a little cloudy or chunky.
To bring it back to it's runny consistency, set the jar on the kitchen counter and allow it to come to room temperature. Boil a kettle of water and pour the water into a deep bowl. Set the jar of honey into the bowl for ten minutes. Remove the jar; stir the honey to bring it back to it's original condition.
