Ames Russell started AR's in Richmond, Virginia in 2016, and hot honey is what he's known for. This is his original and best seller: clover and wildflower honey with chile de árbol.

It starts sweet and finishes with a mild sting. It's made with raw, non-ultrafiltered honey from Appalachian hives and real chili peppers. No vinegar, no extracts, no preservatives.

Fried chicken, pizza, biscuits, cornbread, a pork chop right off the grill, or over vanilla ice cream.
