How long can I store hot honey?

In a clean, sealed jar, hot honey stays good for up to 3 months in the refrigerator.

Do I need to strain the chili peppers after making it?

You don't have to, but you can strain the hot honey if you want a clear sauce without bits.

Is this recipe very spicy?

That depends on the type of chili you use. Yellow chilies are usually milder than red ones. Adjust the amount of chili flakes to taste.

Can I use hot honey in sweet dishes?

Absolutely! Try it over grilled peaches, ice cream, or a cheese platter.

Can I also make hot honey with dried chilies?

Yes, but let them steep a bit longer in the warm honey for a fuller flavor. You can also use only chili flakes if you don't have fresh peppers.
