Honey Is Magic
In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°.
In a skillet, brown sausage over medium heat, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet. Reduce heat to low. Add oil and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute. Add green and red peppers, salt and crushed pepper. Cook 10 minutes or until peppers soften. Cut sausage into bite size pieces and add to skillet with tomatoes, tomato paste and honey. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
