Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Place sausage in a small covered skillet with about 1/4-inch water. Bring to a boil and steam over a low heat for 3-5 minutes. Add more hot water if necessary. Remove sausage from pan and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Discard water. In the same skillet heat olive oil. Add sausage slices and cook until browned, about 3 minutes, turning often.
In a large saucepan, combine cooked sausage with remaining ingredients, except Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
