Jalapeño Hot Honey
Ingredients
16 Ounces honey, local if possible
3 jalapeños, large
Directions
Evenly cut 3 jalapeños into slices about ½-inch thick.
Pour the honey into a medium saucepan. Before turning on the heat, place the slices of jalapeños evenly in the honey around the pan.
Turn the heat to medium low. As soon as the honey begins to bubble slightly (not a boil), turn the heat down to low and let the mixture heat through for 8 to 10 minutes stirring frequently.
Take the pan off the heat and let the honey cool down for a few minutes while you prepare the jars.
Wash your jars thoroughly and dry them well before pouring the honey in.
After about 10 minutes of cooling, the honey will be ready to pour in the jar. Pour it through a sieve to remove the jalapeño slices and seeds.
Close the lid tightly and leave out until it cools to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
Note: I poured the honey in, leaving a few jalapeño slices so the honey would get hotter over time. This is optional, but if you want the honey to be more spicy leave more jalapeño slices in the jar when you pour in the honey.
