Blackberry Reduction Sauce
Ingredients:
Pan drippings
1 jar (10 ounces) blackberry jelly
½ to 1 cup Mill Creek Merlot
1 shallot, chopped
4 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions:
Remove roast and keep warm. Deglaze the pan with the wine using a wisk. Add the jelly and shallot and reduce until the mixture is almost dry. Add the chicken stock, decrease heat to medium, and reduce until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon. Add the butter. Season, if needed, with salt and pepper. Keep warm until you are ready to serve. (Making the sauce will take 20 to 30 minutes.)
