Lambic Reduction

Submitted by Pangaea

"This recipe is very dependent on the type of beer. Some lambics are completely dry and VERY sour, whereas some are sweetened before bottling. The type of beer will determine how much sugar needs to be added. This recipe is great with chocolate or fresh fruit and works wonderfully drizzled over ice cream."
