Serves about 1 cup (250 ml)

Ingredients

  1. 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
  2. 1 small shallot, finely chopped (optional) (see Chef’s tip)
  3. 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
  4. 250 ml (1 cup) honey
  5. 15 ml (1 tbsp) white wine vinegar
  6. 5 ml (1 tsp) red pepper flakes
  7. 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) sweet paprika
  8. 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper
  9. 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt
  10. 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground black peppercorns

Directions

  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.
