Habanero Honey Recipes

HABANERO HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Give the habaneros a good rinse and de-stem them. Out of habit, I usually scrape out the seeds and pith of habaneros but you can consider this optional. Use caution (or gloves) when handling habanero peppers.
• Saute a roughly chopped onion and 2 whole, peeled garlic cloves in a dollop of oil. It's best to use a non-reactive pan for this recipe with stainless steel being a good option.
• Once the onion has softened (5-8 minutes) add the six habanero peppers, 3/4 cup peach, 1/4 cup pineapple, 1" piece of peeled ginger, 3/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes or until everything is at a uniform temp.
• Add mixture to a blender or food processor and combine well.
• Take a taste. It will be plenty hot so consider yourself warned! You can add dashes of agave or honey to sweeten it up and temper the heat if you want.
• Serve immediately or store in hot sauce bottles in the fridge where it will keep for at least a month.

HABANERO JELLY

Steps:

• Place all the peppers in a food processor and pulse until chopped finely.
• Transfer the chopped peppers to a large pot with the remaining ingredients.
• Heat to boiling and continue to boil for about 15-18 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Skim any foam which accumulates at the top and remove from stove element.
• While the jelly is still hot, ladle it into hot jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
• Screw on lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

HOT HONEY RECIPE

• Add the peppers and honey to a small pot. Heat and simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes to infuse them with the pepper flavor and heat.
• Remove from heat and let cool.
• Strain the honey through a fine mesh sieve. Toss out the peppers.
• Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. Use as needed.

HABANERO HONEY

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.
