Late Weekend Recipe!

Oh joy! A recipe! It's been way too long! (Carolyn and Jason, you'll like this one, I think)

Sarah's Red Wine Sauce

1.5c red wine
1/2c brown sugar (loosely packed)
1 3" cinnamon stick
15-20 black peppercorns
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp lemon juice

Throw everything in a pot and bring to a boil, then simmer for half an hour or so until you've reduced it to about half it's original volume. You can simmer longer if you want a thicker sauce. Then strain it into a jar, and use to top vanilla ice cream.

Seriously, this stuff is like crack. And it's a great way to use an old half-drunk bottle of wine.

We think that since there are no comments yet we must be the first followers to try this out-- because it is frikkin amazing. i.e. you were right, we like (love) it. ...(Or were you insinuating that we can't finish a bottle of vino?)
