How to Make Blackberry Port Wine Sauce

  1. Combine 2 cups fresh blackberries, 1 cup ruby port wine, ½ cup chicken broth, 1 finely minced shallot, and 2 tablespoons honey in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to about 1 ½ cups and thickened slightly.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve or chinois placed over a bowl, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much sauce as possible. Discard the solids.
  6. Return the strained sauce to the saucepan. Stir in 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and a pinch of sea salt.
  7. Whisk until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
