I hate when I have sweet coffee by accident too
I like to make hot honey and keep it in the original honey jar, its great on pizza. This fact was not initially known to the food thief in the shared house I used to live in.
Back when I was a kid, I once decided to cook potato salad. This particular recipe calls for mayonnaise, so I decided to make some mayonnaise. My go-to acid is apple cider vinegar, and I thought it looked a bit darker than usual but I didn’t think much of it.
Once the mayonnaise was finished, I tasted it, and it was weirdly disgusting. I tried saving it, but gave up and re-did the whole thing. Which again turned out vile. I couldn’t figure out why exactly it was gross, but it had this really off-putting heady flavour that just didn’t work at all. Called on my mother to test it, and she also went “yeah that’s pretty gross.”
Turns out this skank had fucking poured some old red wine she’d found in the back of the pantry, into an apple cider vinegar bottle, because she figured it was on its way to become red wine vingegar and somehow the apple cider vinegar bottle is more suited than the red wine bottle it was already in? I guess it had started turning into vinegar, on account of it having soured and worked perfectly well in the mayonnaise emulsion, but it was still vile.
that at least sounds like a problem that solves itself
I love hot honey! What do you use for your peppers?
I just grab a selection of what ever Aldi has in stock. Tbh I don’t really know the types of pepper that well, but it’s a supermarket so it’s not going to be too spicy - and if it is, it’s so cheap to make I’ll just make another but that hasn’t been an issue yet.
Plz share recipe!
Dice a packet of chilli peppers and add to a pan with a jar of honey, cook gently for a while. Pour back into jar through a sieve once it has cooled a little but still warm so it flows easily.
Fresh or dry peppers, what’s your weight ratio?
Fresh, but I think you are mistaking me for someone that measures things.
How long do you keep it for? Sounds like botulism could be a risk after a week.
It keeps for years, it’s honey
Sure the honey is honey, but the peppers aren’t, and they’re adding moisture and creating small anaerobic places for botulism to potentially grow.
I’m not an expert so I can’t say for sure, but without the advice of one, I’d be careful.
I am, I just don’t know how big a packet of peppers is 😅
Maybe 5-10 peppers?
don’t like the chunks of pepper in your honey?
I’m too lazy to strain things out. I just choice to say I prefer it with chunks.
You are very brave keeping those next to each other
brave
Yes, thank you. Let’s go with that. Brave.
Salted coffee is actually pretty good. Haven’t had it with an extra kick like that, but now I want to.
People keep putting coffee and chocolate in the same lane, so the addition of heat and salt should work just fine in coffee now that I think about it. I’ll have to give that a go.
My ground ginger and garlic powder containers look really similar and I know I’ll eventually fall for it
Brown sugar?
Brown sugar and raw sugar are different things.
