RED WINE REDUCTION DESSERT SAUCE
I got these recipe ingredients from Chef Bruce at the Red Rooster Cafe in New Braunfels, TX. I serve this sauce with fresh blackberries from my dad's garden. Layer in a wine glass, sweetened whipped cream, berries, sauce, then more whipped cream. Top with a berry and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar. So good! They also use this sauce on their Monte Cristo Sandwich.

QUICK RED-WINE DESSERT SAUCE
Just the thing for using up leftover red wine! Simmer with sugar and cinnamon until the liquid reduces into a fragrant, syrupy sauce, then serve with pound cake, fresh berries, and whipped cream. It's also delicious drizzled over baked apples or vanilla ice cream.

ICE CREAM WITH RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE AND FRESH FRUIT
This is a simple and delicious dessert -- one of my favorites. The richness of the sauce balances well with the simple flavors of vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit. I prefer to use fresh sliced peaches or mango, but I'm sure other fruits would be delicious.

Steps:
- Pour one bottle of red wine into a saucepan.
- Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise. (Do not substitue vanilla extract for the bean -- the flavor is not anywhere near the same or as good.).
- Add the vanilla bean, sugar and peppercorns and keep on a low, rolling boil until the liquid reduces to about a cup. (this will take around a half an hour).
- Remove from heat and allow to finish thickening.
- Pour sauce over sliced fresh fruit (I prefer peaches or mango) and all natural vanilla ice cream.
- The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
