MUSHROOM HONEY LAGER SAUCE

Mushroom Honey Lager Sauce image

This sauce has a delicate flavor of mushrooms that have been bathed in beer with a kiss of honey. Romantic hints of rosemary truly bring together this unique sauce that my husband and I invented for a chicken recipe. This will definitely compliment chicken or beef. Use local honey if possible.
