This is a good sauce to compliment grilled meats. I got the recipe from an advertisment for cookbooks.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
3 -4 shallots, minced (about 3/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups zinfandel
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar (can add more to taste)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the shallots and garlic, cook until just beginning to brown, 3 or 4 minutes.
3. Add all but 2 tablespoons of the wine and bring to a boil.
4. Let the mixture boil until reduced to about 1/2 cup.
5. Reduce the heat and stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, honey and liquid smoke.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Let the sauce simmer gently until thick, 6 to 10 minutes, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons wine after 4 minutes.
8. Serve sauce warm.
9. It will keep in the frige, covered for several weeks.
