1. In a small pot over medium heat, cook the garlic and shallot in the oil until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil.
2. Transfer to an airtight container and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate. The honey will keep for 1 month in the refrigerator. Let sit out at room temperature and mix well before serving.

Chef’s tip

The flavour of lightly browned shallot adds a lot of character to this spicy honey.

Spicy honey will become one of your favourite go-to condiments in the refrigerator. It’s great on pizzas, in sandwiches, with grilled meats and on a cheese or charcuterie board.
