Categories     Fruit     Dessert

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 cups assorted, seasonal fruit, cut to bite-size pieces
2 tbsps fresh ginger, minced
375 ml sweet white wine, like a Niagara

Steps:

  • Combine wine and ginger in a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to about half. Remove from heat and cool. Combine fruit and cooled wine syrup, toss gently to mix. Let stand for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Wine: Select a dry white wine with a crisp, acidic flavor, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Chardonnay. These wines will help tenderize the meat and impart a subtle flavor.
  • Enhance the Marinade: Add herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to enhance the flavor of the marinade. Common additions include garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, and orange zest.
  • Tenderize Tough Cuts: White wine marinade is particularly effective in tenderizing tough cuts of meat, such as flank steak, skirt steak, and pork shoulder. The acidity in the wine helps break down the connective tissues, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Marinating Time: The optimal marinating time depends on the thickness of the meat. For thin cuts, marinate for at least 30 minutes. For thicker cuts, marinate for several hours or overnight.
  • Refrigerate While Marinating: Always marinate meat in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth. Discard the marinade after use, as it may contain harmful bacteria.

Conclusion:

White wine marinade is a versatile and flavorful way to enhance the taste of various meats, poultry, and seafood. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and tender dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to find the perfect flavor combination for your next culinary creation.
