Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 750 ml red wine (1 bottle)
• 1 cup sugar
• 10 peppercorns
• 1 vanilla bean
• sliced seasonal fruit
• vanilla ice cream

Recipe

• 1 pour one bottle of red wine into a saucepan.
• 2 slice the vanilla bean lengthwise. (do not substitue vanilla extract for the bean -- the flavor is not anywhere near the same or as good.).
• 3 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).
• 4 remove from heat and allow to finish thickening.

• 6 the sauce will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
