Category: Sauces - Miscellaneous
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

3 cups Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon (or one 750 ml bottle)
3 cups beef or chicken broth
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, or 1 tsp dried
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Combine the wine, broth, shallots, and thyme in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. The sauce should have a thick, syrupy consistency. (The sauce may be made up to one day ahead at this point. Reheat before proceeding.)

Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Makes about 1 cup
