Pepper infused honey

I went to a restaurant named, "Zona" in Mesa, and they have Habanero Ribs, that are to die for! I had an idea to try to make a Habanero honey glaze similar to what they had and came up with this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2+ Habaneros sliced with seeds
  • 2+ Jalapenos sliced with seeds
  • 2+ Tablespoons red pepper flakes
  • approx 1/2 cup honey, enough to cover pepper in pan.
  • Note: All amounts are up to you to modify according to your heat tolerance, but then again you wouldn't be on my blog if you were a heat wimp!

Directions

  1. Put all ingredients into a small pan, almost bring to a boil, then reduce to very low heat and simmer 2-15 minutes (pick a number).
  2. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. Pour honey thru a strainer into a jar.
  4. Next step is optional. Remove the Habanero and Jalapeno pieces from the strainer and scrape the red pepper flakes into the jar with the honey.
I plan on trying it on ribs this weekend.
