Blackberry Sauce
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons diced shallots
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup crushed fresh or frozen blackberries, strained
Instructions
Bring broth to a boil; cook over medium heat until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup. Set aside. Saute shallots in hot oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shallots are translucent. Add wine and cook until it is almost evaporated. Stir in strained blackberries and reduced chicken broth. Cook over medium heat until liquid is reduced by half. Keep warm.
Made it for a few friends from work and they thought I was a great cook. It was good old comfort food but low in fat. Easy to make.
