Store honey in a cool, dark place (like the fridge!) to slow oxidation and make it last a while. Then use it on pretty much everything.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients

2–4 hot chiles (such as Fresno, Holland, or Thai), thinly sliced
1 cup honey

  1. Step 1

    Bring 2 chiles and honey to a bare simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low and let cook 1 hour to infuse. Taste honey and adjust heat with another chile or 2, remove from stove, and let sit 30 minutes. Transfer to a small jar, straining if desired. Cover and chill.
