In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup raw honey, 2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 2 thinly sliced Calabrian chilis (or fresh hot chili peppers).

2
Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil, as this can scorch the honey.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp apple cider vinegar and 1/8 tsp kosher salt.

4
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, which will take about 30 minutes.
