1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.

Remove from pan; set aside, and keep warm.
5. Strain cooking liquid through a sieve into a bowl, and discard solids. Return cooking liquid to pan. Bring to a boil, and cook 5 minutes or until reduced to 2 cups. Combine flour and water in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to cooking liquid in pan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring constantly with a whisk.
