Spicy jalapeno infused honey!
Honey is an amazing sweetener and it’s fun to add flavours to it, like jalapeno; that magical sweet and spicy combo! This jalapeno honey is so easy to make! You simply add sliced jalapenos to honey, bring to a simmer, and enjoy! Store it in the fridge in a sealed container and have it whenever you want! I like jalapeno honey on pancakes, on waffles (with or without fried chicken!), on bagels with cream cheese, in sandwiches, etc.

What a great recipe! I have to order "Hot Honey" online and now I can make this right in my own kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
I love the concept and love Jalapenos. Kevin, you state you use four jalapenos. Do you increase the amount of honey or keep it the same?
Are you sure about putting honey in the refrigerator? Check on a bee keepers site…
Unknown: I like it extras spicy so I go for 4 jalapenos for 1 cup of honey.
Sherry Lee: I don't normally store honey in the fridge but with the jalapenos in it I do.
Sounds delicious Not sure what I would use it for – don't eat the things you mentioned.
This sounds like it might taste similar to hot pepper jelly, which I adore. Going to try this for sure! Thanks
I agree with the notion that honey does not go into the fridge. I simmered the honey with two jalapeños and then forked them out. The honey was plenty warm (but not hot) and i added the peppers to my jar of candied jalapeños which was already opened. Would also make a good contribution to a jar of sweet pickles. This honey i would also add to salad dressings or dips—sometimes a touch of sweetness rounds out the flavors.
OMG! That sounds so good. I can think of lots of goodies to put this on or in. So now I need to go to the store and gets some hot peppers 🙂 Thanks!
I just made this today and it is awesome.. I doubled the recipe so as to have lots on hand but I dont think even double is going to last long.. Cant wait to make jelly.
I do have a question now that i’ve made this.. It’s been in the fridge all night.. Will it stay fairly thin, much thinner than regular honey?
Thanks
Thought I would mention that this makes a kick ass hot toddy during cold and flu season. I have used your jalapeno honey recipe to make a jalapeno honey butter to serve with warm cornbread. So yummy. Next I’m going to try it in a vinaigrette!
If you heat the honey you are loosing the healthy enzymes. The honey you buy in the grocery store has probably already been heated so go ahead. It might start to get crystals in the fridge.
