Notes
The type of honey you use will affect the flavor of the sauce. Organic, local honey is recommended for the best taste. However, any liquid honey will work just as well.
the smoked paprika is a key ingredient in this recipe and should not be substituted. It adds a smoky depth of flavor to the sauce that complements the sweetness of the honey and the spiciness of the hot sauce.
