Habanero Honey image

Warning, when handling habaneros, wear rubber gloves and glasses or goggles. When cooking, always cover or use the stove vent fan. The honey acts as a preservative, allowing you to use the peppers to cook with through the winter and the peppers prevent the honey from crystallizing. The honey makes for a unique spread on toast or muffins. The honey can also be used as part of a glaze for turkey, ham, or pork roast. Michael D. King. ICQ 12724999.

Time 1h

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

habanero pepper, stemmed halved and seeded
good local honey (unpasteurized from your local beekeeper)

Steps:

  • Take a sterilized canning jar (I use 8 oz jelly jars) and fill half way up with honey.
  • Stuff as many pepper halves as you can into the jar, taking care not to trap air.
  • Fill the the rest of the jar with honey and put on lid tightly. Don't worry about the seal, you'll be opening it again before you're done.
  • Vibrate the jar(s) to allow any trapped air to get to the top (I put my jars on top of the washer during the spin cycle).
  • Allow to sit for 2 or 3 days.
  • Open the jars to release any trapped air/outgassing from the peppers, reseal and store in a cool dry place.
