Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend well.
STEP 2
Keep refrigerated for one week, or frozen for several months.
Options
Serve on top of cornbread, fresh corn on the cob, potatoes, steak, shrimp and fish. Use mild or hot chiles, or a combination of the two.
If you prefer it less sweet and spicy omit the honey. For extra levels of flavor, try adding 1 teaspoon of cumin, chili powder or smoked paprika or 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped cilantro.
To freeze, place butter on a sheet of parchment paper and roll into a tube. Wrap tube tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. You can then easily cut off frozen slices as you need it!
