Nuclear Nectar is born

[jcam222]

Thanks to indaswamp for the catchy name and clifish for the image for my label. At first I was thinking a sauce with the name Nuclear Nectar but suddenly my brain stormed and hot honey it is. 5 lbs of honey split into 2 quart mason jars. I added 10 Chile moritas, 2 dehydrated ghost and 1 scorpion x to each jar. I cut the peppers open and or crushed as appropriate. I also added 1T of ACV to tame sweetness just a tad.

Into a sous vide bath for 2 hours @ 155F. I pulled them a couple times to shake them up.

I worked on the labels while it infused.

After letting it cool enough to not melt the squirt bottles I packed it up. Here's the first bottle.

I don't do sugars so this will all be sold and gifted but I of course tasted enough to insure it was tasty. Smokey up front with sweetness and significant heat on th finish. Hot but addictive. Will be great drizzled on wings, chicken and waffles, ice cream, ribs , pretzels etc. I've heard of folks making drinks with it as well. If this small batch goes well I'll make a large batch for the holidays. Thanks for looking!

Now that is a sauce I could eat for sure! That would absolutely Rock as a glaze for bacon wrapped grilled shrimp!!

Jeff, what program are you using on your computer to make the labels? I am looking for a set up for making wine labels.

I've been doing these right on Avery labels website. They have a ton of templates and even allow you to save all your projects online free. It's pretty intuitive. I just wish it had better font formatting options like shadowing, outlined letters etc.

I want some, you need to PM me so I can buy some of your creations.

Looks ands sounds great Jeff, love the whole label

Now we are talking, I love ice cream and I drizzle some different things on top , but I think this would really work especially Chocolate

Thanks! I think mines likely hotter than the commercially available versions.

I could see someone pounding this down and then the heat kicking in lol. It's got a delayed burn.

Thanks David. Yep chocolate and chiles are a great pairing.

I see that referenced widely for use of hot honey. Especially true with pepperoni they say

Very creative. Buttermilk bisques and a bottle to go please. Last month I batched up local honey with diced ginger. Love it in a cup of tea. I allowed it to ferment, in fact it's still living. I tightened the lid early on and she ballooned. Sence then I leave it loosed screwed. I wonder if the peppers would ferment in the honey and if it would change the flavor profile.

Boy, Nuclear-nectar sounds great Jeff, and the bottle is out of this world. Great job

Point for sure

Local pizza joint has a habenaro Honey glaze for a finish on pizzas....it is the bomb! I;m sure yours is better though!!

I will probably add habanero as I tweak the recipe for a final version. Habanero will add more upfront heat. I like sauces to have both immediate and slow burn. Most of the superhots are delayed burn albeit very hot.

Man that looks pretty dangerous in a good and bad way.....LOL

Biscuit, butter, and a drizzle of that. A good way to kickstart the day.
Great looking label.

It sure could be. As t first just a little smoke and mild heat with the sweet following and then suddenly BAM, damn it's hot lol. Your brain then says more please haha

Oh yea or some chicken and biscuit. Breakfast wise I could also see drizzling it on bacon, sausage or ham! The salt , sweet and heat would be a flavor bomb.

Hmm
I’ll have to ask my wife if she wants some
I don’t do sweet either. Not keto. Lost my appetite for sweet after covid

Do you strain out the peppers after the infusion?
