Note

This sauce pairs excellently with roasted turkey, grilled chicken, baked fish, or pork chops.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if it becomes too thick.

For a lighter version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth or additional water.

If using dried rosemary, crush it between your fingers before adding to release its oils.
