Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (118 ml) honey
- ¼ cup (59 ml) hot sauce (franks redhot)
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Blend Base: Whisk honey, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper together in a medium saucepan until thoroughly combined.
- Heat and Simmer: Set saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to distribute ingredients evenly. Allow mixture to develop gentle bubbles around pan edges, then reduce heat to low, maintaining a soft, steady simmer that enables flavor melding without aggressive boiling.
- Develop Consistency: Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent scorching. Monitor sauce as it transforms into a glossy, slightly thickened liquid that smoothly coats the back of a spoon.
- Rest and Store: Remove from heat and let sauce rest momentarily, allowing residual warmth to intensify flavors. Transfer carefully to a clean, sterilized glass container with a secure lid, then refrigerate immediately to preserve its vibrant taste and smooth texture for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Balance Heat Levels: Adjust cayenne and hot sauce carefully to control spiciness, allowing personalized flavor intensity without overwhelming the palate.
- Prevent Burning: Stir consistently during simmering to avoid ingredient scorching and ensure smooth, even flavor development.
- Consistency Check: Watch sauce thickness while cooking; ideal texture should smoothly coat a spoon without being too runny or overly thick.
- Storage Optimization: Use sterilized glass containers and refrigerate promptly to maximize sauce shelf life and maintain vibrant taste profile.
