Equipment
I recommend storing your Hot Honey in an airtight jar so that it will have a longer shelf life!
Storage
Transfer your mixture to a sterilized, airtight jar. Allow your Hot Honey mixture to cool completely and store at room temperature for up to 1 month.
Top Tip
Add your mixture to the airtight jar before allowing it to cool. Be careful when handling the hot mixture. Allowing the hot honey to cool in the jar will make it much easier to work with. If you allow the mixture to cool first then it might be a messy job transferring it to your jar.
FAQ
The best honeys to use for this recipe is mild, runny honey. You don't want a honey that has too strong a flavor as this will overpower your chillies.
