WINE PLUM SAUCE
About 1 cup
A deeply flavored sauce for roast chicken, duck, or goose.
Combine in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat:
- 8 ounces red or purple plums, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup dry red wine
Boil until reduced to a syrup, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then pass through a food mill or puree in a blender or food processor and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Return the puree to the pan and stir in:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup chicken or vegetable stock or broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with:
- Salt and black pepper
