Recipe Introduction
What to Do With Leftover Wine
"Use those dribs and drabs left after a party: Try these recipes for boozy syrup you can serve over waffles, ice cream, and more." I made this and it really is delicious. We served it over ice cream.
List of Ingredients
1 orange
1 bottle red wine (or 3½ cups assorted red wines)
1 cup sugar
6 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
Recipe
Hands-on time: 5 minutes
Total time: 2 hours (includes cooling time)
Makes: 1 cup
1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove strips of orange zest from the orange. In a large saucepan, combine the wine, sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick, and orange zest.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the wine mixture is thickened and reduced to 1 cup, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and orange zest. Let cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate until chilled (the syrup will thicken as it cools).
Serve with: ice cream, yogurt, ricotta, pound cake, waffles, pancakes, or fruit.
At the time of this posting, I have not tried the White Wine Syrup, but plan to.
