Wheat Free Classic Hot Honey
Sweet, fiery, and endlessly versatile, this hot honey is the kind of condiment that quietly takes over your kitchen once you make it the first time. The ingredient list is beautifully simple — just honey, dried chiles, red pepper flakes, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt — and every single one of them is naturally free of wheat, so there's no label-reading anxiety here. The gentle simmer over medium-low heat coaxes the heat out of the chiles without scorching the honey, and the steeping window lets you dial in exactly how spicy you want the final result to be. Drizzle it over pizza, fried chicken, roasted vegetables, cheese boards, or even a bowl of vanilla ice cream if you're feeling bold. Straining out the solids at the end gives you a glossy, smooth pour that looks like something you'd pay a lot for at a specialty shop. Once it's cooled and sealed in a jar, you've got a pantry staple that elevates almost anything it touches.
