BERRY or CHERRY PORT SAUCE

• 1 cup Port wine
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries,
• blackberries) or cherries, pitted

In a saucepan combine 3/4 cup of the Port along with the sugar and bring to a simmer.  Allow to
simmer for 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the remaining Port and cornstarch or arrowroot to make a slurry.  Add the slurry to the pot and cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes.

Add the berries and cook 2 minutes more, or until the sauce is thickened.  Remove the sauce from the
heat and stir in the vanilla.  Store in canning jars airtight, or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
