Description
Have a bit of red wine left in a bottle that has been open a tad too long? Make a totally decadent caramel sauce and drizzle it over your next slice of pie or bowl of ice cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 ml / 16.9 oz red wine
- 500 gm/ 16.9 oz caster sugar
- *optional 1 split vanilla bean or a stick of cinnamon
Instructions
- Put the red wine and sugar into a pot
- Add the vanilla or cinnamon.
- Bring up to the boil and simmer letting it reduce till it starts to look shiny and the bubbles increase. It will be reduced by a bit over ½. If it coats the back of a stirring spoon and you can run your finger over it and leave a trail it is done. Once it cools it will thicken more.
- It will take approximately 10 minutes. The syrup can always be reduced a little more if it is not to your liking once it chills.
