This honey is infused with red chile. The red chile gives it a distinctive flavor and lovely red hue. It will keep indefinitely in a tightly sealed glass jar. This is a great addition to fresh baked bread, sopaipillas or corn bread. The recipe comes from Real New Mexico Chile cookbook. Please note: If the honey is super thick, warm it slightly before straining.
Ingredients:
4 red dried new mexico chiles or 4 dried anaheim chiles
2 cups honey
cayenne
Directions:
1. Remove the stems from the chilies and lightly crumble both the peppers and seeds.
2. Place in a clean glass jar, add the honey.
3. Place the jar in a sunny window for a week.
4. Taste and if more heat is desired, add cayenne to taste.
5. Strain the honey through a fine mesh strainer and return to the jar.
