Ingredients

5 total
  • 454g jar runny honey
  • 2 tsp ancho chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 crumpets, to serve (optional)
  • 40g mature cheddar, grated, to serve (optional)

Method

2 steps
  1. Step 1

    Put the honey into a small pan with the ancho chilli flakes (or hotter ones if you prefer).

  2. Step 2

    Bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins, then turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Leave to cool completely, then pour back into the jar, ready for drizzling over toasted cheese-topped crumpets, if you like. Store in a cool cupboard for up to 12 months.
