Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent, stirring frequently.
Pour in the red wine and chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the fresh raspberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 8-10 minutes or until the raspberries break down and the flavors meld together.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce to thicken it to your desired consistency. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess, if needed.
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove raspberry seeds for a smoother texture, if preferred.
Serve the warm raspberry red wine sauce over your choice of fish, chicken, or pork. Enjoy!
