CABERNET CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the sugar to a sauce pan. Pour in the orange juice, wine, zest, cinnamon stick and spices. Bring that up to a simmer on medium heat. When it's simmering, add the cranberries. Bring back up to a simmer, and the berries will start to "pop." Simmer for about 10-12 minutes. The sauce will start to thicken and the berries will have all popped and collapsed.
• Add a 1/4 cup of cold water and turn off the heat. Don't worry if a couple berries didn't pop, as they will break down as the sauce is cooled and stirred. Take out the cinnamon stick. As the sauce cools it will get very thick. Cool to room temperature, stir, and refrigerate until needed. This will keep for several weeks.

BLACKBERRY CABERNET SAUCE

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, puree and then strain enough blackberries to measure 1 cup pulp.
• In a large frying pan, saute onion in olive oil approximately 5 minutes or until onions are transparent.
• Add the blackberry pulp, sugar, and wine.
• Simmer sauce until reduced to approximately 1/2 the original quantity.
• Remove from heat and let cool.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.

STRAWBERRY CABERNET SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup wine and sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced to 1/3 cup (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat.
• Place wine mixture, vanilla and half of strawberries in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Pour pureed strawberry mixture in a large bowl.
• Coarsely chop remaining strawberries. Add chopped strawberries, 1 T wine, and lemon juice to pureed strawberry mixture; stir to combine.
