Ideas for the jar
Infusions
Fire Honey
Dried chilies and garlic steeped slowly in raw honey. Two weeks of patience, then it goes on everything: pizza, fried chicken, roasted carrots, sharp cheese.
Dinner
Honey-Mustard Roast Chicken Thighs
Dijon, honey and rosemary rubbed onto chicken thighs and roasted until the skin lacquers. A dark honey gives the glaze real depth.
Drinks
Hot Honey Butter Toddy
A toddy with a knob of butter melted into it, and enough chili honey to warm the back of your throat.
Sauces + Condiments
Hot Honey Glaze for Barbecue or Wings
Chili, smoked paprika, vinegar and butter cooked into honey until it clings. Brush it on in the last minutes, not before.
