Nuclear Nectar Blazing Honey V2

[jcam222]

I posted my first batch of hot honey here https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/nuclear-nectar-is-born.323658/ It was nice and hot on the finish but didn't really have any up front heat. Multiple folks , self included thought adding that would perfect it. For this batch to add that immediate heat I added 4 dehydrated red savine peppers in addition to the chili moritas, ghost and scorpion peppers. Worked out well. This batch has immediate sweet heat that hangs on right to the scorpion / ghost finish. I doubled up and did 10 lbs worth of honey this time. Will be great drizzled on pizza, wings, Nashville Hot Chicken and waffles and much more. I think one buddy used it to glaze some ribs as well. Here are some pics and thanks for looking.

Glazed ribs, pizza, cheese and crackers half the damn bottle is gone in what 2 weeks.....not good for this type 2 but I can't stop using it...next up if it lasts, is pork belly burnt ends for a thanksgiving appetizer.

Nice blending Jeff.
You are really learning the finer skill of hot pepper blends.
Used to love hot honey, but the tastes changed 3 times after the ..vid and honey is eh as with all other sweet.

Do you just crush or cut up the peppers and let soak in honey? What does the hot water bath do?

Man that's a bummer on the taste changes for sure. It is interesting on the nuances of the burn timing and even location between some of the varieties.

I cut up the dehydrated peppers. The hot water batch is just a controlled way to "cook" it ng up infusing the honey. Some folks do it in a saucepan which to me is far harder to control and keep from burning.

Gotta luv that label!
And I'm betting the honey is addictive.

Thanks! I sometimes hesitate to post them as they are often repeats but figure there's no harm in it.

I only taste a tiny amount to insure it's tasty. Making these and tiny taste test is the most sugar I've ingested at one time in over 6 years! I do plan on making a sugar free version with my dandelion sugar free honey next year when the dandelions return.

me too! You are making me feel bad for the $1000 we dropped a few weeks ago at the NH liquor store we were at visiting my son. It is embarrassing as they ask us if this amount is for commercial use. The bad part is it is for personal consumption...lol

My goodness that looks and sounds awesome !!! Do I use "SMF" as my code when I order ?

Lol some days I ponder a commercial operation for sauces but then I remember just how much I love retirement since July haha. Mostly goes to friend and some local deals to acquaintances.

Jeff
Many an entrepreneur has started a business in their retirement years.

I should add that my aversion to sweet is lessened by the use of the keto or sugar alcohols. It may help others that should avoid traditional sugars owing to dietary restrictions.

NY alcohol tax must be similar to FL?
Depending on your taste it may not take many bottles to total $1,000
