Five-Pepper Smoked Hot Honey – 8 oz

About the maker and product

Honey Badgers Bee Farm is a family business in Brooksville, Florida, founded by Derrick Jerome and developed with his father, Bill Jerome. Its LLC was established in 2020; the family’s beekeeping began earlier with two backyard hives. Their work combines hive care with a culinary interest in new ways to enjoy honey. The farm also offers apiary visits and beekeeping education, reflecting a focus on helping people understand bees and their role as pollinators.

Five-Pepper Smoked Hot Honey layers honey sweetness with the savory taste of smoked peppers, apple cider vinegar, garlic, onion and salt. The maker describes using five peppers for a more complex heat profile, while the reviewed label calls the heat medium. It is intended as a food condiment for pizza, ribs, fried chicken, biscuits and grilled cheese. The bottle’s label states 8 ounces by weight. No specific five pepper varieties or measured heat rating are promised because the full pepper selection has not been published.

Flavor and ways to enjoy

• Format: One bottle.
• Flavor: Smoked peppers, garlic and honey.
• Suggested use: Food drizzle, finishing condiment or recipe ingredient.
• Ingredient details: Listed below, with unresolved details stated where applicable.
• After opening: Refrigerate after use.

Use a small drizzle to finish pizza, a grilled cheese sandwich or cooked chicken. For ribs or roasted vegetables, brush on a thin layer near the end of cooking and watch for overbrowning. It can also serve as a dipping condiment. Taste a little first, since individual heat preferences vary and the smoked pepper mixture adds more than sweetness alone.
