• Red Wine Caramel Cherries
- 1 1/3 cups cherries
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 star anise pod
- 1 cup fruity red wine
- 4 cups pitted cherries
1. Measure the red wine and set aside at the ready. Measure the sugar In a heavy, nonreactive saucepan. Pour in the water and gently mix with the sugar to create a wet sand consistency. Place a lid on the pot and bring the sugar mixture to a boil over high heat. After two minutes of boiling, remove the lid and continue cooking the sugar mixture while watching closely until it begins to brown. Do not stir at all during this time.
2.When the sugar starts to brown, swirl the pan to encourage even browning. Cook the mixture until it is deep amber, then immediately add the red wine. Stand back away from the pot as much as possible to avoid the splattering.
3. Add the vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, and star anise and cook over medium low, stirring regularly, for about 7 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and mixture thickens and reduces by about 1/2.
4. Add the cherries all at once and cook for about 5-7 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the cherries taste cooked but still maintain some texture.Serve warm or at room temperature or even cold.
