Divine Dessert Sauces

Tasty toppings for vanilla ice-cream:

Bring 1 cup of Sauvignon Blanc to a boil in a small sauce pan.

Add 1/2 cup fresh blueberries and 1/4 cup blueberry preserves.  (Alternatively, substitute nectarines and orange marmalade or cherries with cherry preserves)

Add 1/2 TBS pectin.

Boil until becomes slightly viscous (will congeal more when it cools)

Note of caution:  Do not cover the sauce pan… especially do not cover it with a lid that is too big for the pan.  The evaporating alcohol will condense on the lid and drip down onto the burner, igniting into a massive flame that will jump into the sauce pan and create a jumbo sized bunsen burner in your kitchen.  This is however an effective means of jolting you away if you have not yet had your morning cup of coffee (I speak from experience).
