Honey Hot Sauces

Sweet meets heat. Honey rounds off a pepper’s sharp edges and helps a sauce cling, so these bottles taste balanced even as the heat climbs.

Honey and habanero is the classic pairing, used in half the sauces here; others match honey with jalapeño, cayenne or Carolina reaper. Most are mild or medium, with ginger, lime and garlic for balance. They’re made for wings, fried chicken, pork and pizza, and they double as a quick glaze: brush one on in the last few minutes of grilling.
