Recipe Introduction


To avoid off flavors, make sure to reduce the cranberry juice in a nonreactive stainless steel pan.





List of Ingredients



• 2 cups cranberry juice
  
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried
  
• 1/2 clove garlic , minced
  
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  






Instructions



1. Simmer the cranberry juice in a small saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened and reduced to 2/3 cup, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 15 minutes.
   
2. Shake the chilled, thickened juice with the remaining ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid until combined. The dressing can be refrigerated for up to 4 days; bring to room temperature, then shake vigorously to recombine before using.
