Nothing is More Divine than Red Wine Cherry Sauce

February 22, 2017

Cherry Wine Sauce on Pork Chop February is National Cherry Month, so we decided to celebrate by making red wine cherry sauce! The combination of cherries and wine create a delectable sauce you’ll want to enjoy over and over again. We suggest you use a Missouri Norton or Chambourcin.  Both varietals are dry red wines that are extremely sauce friendly. This wine-soaked, cherry sauce is easy to make and tastes great on pork, chicken, salmon or even ice cream.

Directions:Cherry Wine Sauce on Ice Cream

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt butter and add chopped shallots. Sauté shallots for 2 minutes until tender. Carefully pour in wine, chicken broth and balsamic vinegar. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer until reduced by half, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Next, add sweet cherries into the sauce and cook for at least 5 minutes. As the cherries begin to cook, use the back of a spoon to gently crush the cherries. Continue to reduce the sauce until thickened. Remove skillet from heat. If you’re a citrus fan, add fresh lemon juice into the sauce and stir before spooning onto your favorite dish.
