Honey Sauces

Honey is the "velvet glove" covering the "iron fist" of a high-heat sauce. While white sugar provides a flat, clinical sweetness, honey offers a complex, floral, and viscous profile that transforms a sharp burn into a luxurious glow. Honey is a supersaturated solution of fructose and glucose. Like with other fruits, these sugars are the primary biological distraction for capsaicin.
