Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey is just starting to simmer. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook gently for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature, allowing the red pepper flakes to infuse further.
Strain the hot honey sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container to remove the pepper flakes, if a smoother consistency is preferred.
Store the hot honey sauce in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
Shake or stir before using, if necessary, as the ingredients may settle over time.
