Ingredients

• 1 cup honey

• 2 Tbsp pepper flakes, more or less with heat preference

• Pinch salt

• Optional for tangier hot honey: splash of vinegar or hot sauce

Directions

1. Stir the ingredients together in a glass jar.

2. Place in a small pot of water with a trivet or canning rings at the bottom. Heat on medium, watching the temperature of the water like a hawk.

4. Strain if desired. Properly stored, will last in the pantry at least 6 months.
