Visit us at rbcellars.com ~ Follow us on Twitter ~ Fan Us on Facebook.

This warm and savory sauce is wonderful with roasted or grilled meats and poultry--chicken, duck, lamb or pork

Ingredients:
3 whole cloves
6 black peppercorns
1 2-inch stick cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
2 cups Zinfandel wine
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 cup dried sour cherries (pitted)
2 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup good-quality beef stock

Preparation:
Toast cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon, cumin seed and cardamom in a heavy saucepan.

Stir about 3 minutes until all are hot and aroma is released.

Add Zinfandel and brown sugar.

Simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.

When Zinfandel is reduced, remove saucepan from heat and add cherries to soak while you're blending the remaining ingredients of chocolate, butter and beef stock.

In a small saucepan, melt chocolate and butter. Wisk the beef stock into the chocolate and heat. Add the spiced Zinfandel reduction and keep warm until served.

Enjoyment:
Serve with a bottle of R&B Cellars 2007 Swingsville Zinfandel, sit back and enjoy!
