Ingredients
  

Hot Honey Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw or pure honey 340g, thick amber-colored
  • 1 head garlic separated into individual cloves and peeled (approx. 15 cloves)
  • 2 tbsp bright red chili pepper flakes 10g
  • 1 tbsp olive oil 15ml, extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 15ml
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt 3g

Equipment

  • 1 Small Saucepan For infusing the honey on low heat.
  • 1 Small Skillet For roasting the garlic cloves.
  • 1 Clear Glass Mason Jar For storing the infused honey.
  • 1 Wooden Honey Dipper For serving the honey.

Method
 

Making the Hot Honey
  1. Place a small skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the whole peeled garlic cloves for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until they develop a deep golden-brown crust.
  2. Transfer the roasted golden garlic cloves and infused oil into a small saucepan. Stir in the honey, bright red chili pepper flakes, and kosher salt.
  3. Warm the mixture over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil. Watch for the honey to thin out and deepen into an amber color.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Let cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a clear glass mason jar.
