Ingredients: ½ cup honey; 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; ½ teaspoon smoked paprika; ½ teaspoon kosher salt

It's easy to buy hot honey, but just as easy (in my opinion) to make it at home. Drizzle it over roasted meats or vegetables, or use it to spice up a salad dressing. You can also mix it into soft butter to serve over biscuits. Yum!

Hot Honey

honey

red wine vinegar

red pepper flakes

thyme

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

salt

Combine honey, vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, smoked paprika, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature so flavors infuse, about 30 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.


This is very good and easy to make. I made exactly as written including the thyme and smoked paprika. This will become a staple for me. It is great on bread/biscuits with butter.  I will try it as a glaze for grilled salmon soon.

I left out the thyme (don't like it) and forgot the salt, but this was still amazing. We had it with egg rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls and on biscuits. I mixed a big spoonful into the peanut sauce for our spring rolls and made it extra yumm. I had never even heard of hot honey before, but I'm glad I have it now!

A little twangy - the vinegar.   Slightly sweet - the honey.  Duh.   I halved the pepper & it was still a medium heat, but it didn't last  - the spicy sensation.  It made its mark & left quickly.   Yup, hot honey.  I used on cooked carrots.  Maybe ham would be a better pair-up.  Oh, I omitted the thyme.
