The key is to make a good reduction sauce and pair it with the right kinds of dessert to compliment and enhance the flavours.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>You will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bd (750ml) bottle of Pinot Noir wine<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup of white sugar (or more if you need it sweeter)<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon cinnamon (ground)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Method:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace all of the ingredients together in a saucepan and heat through. Allow to simmer on a low heat. Stir the mixture occasionally and keep on simmering until it reduces. This usually takes about 30 minutes.<br \/>\nAllow the reduction sauce to cool down if you plan on serving it with a cold dessert. Alternatively, you can serve over a warm dessert while the sauce is still hot or warm.<br \/>\nOne popular option is to place some whipped cream at the bottom of a dessert bowl or glass, add a layer of wild berries (like blackberries), pour sauce on top, and add another layer of whipped cream. Top with one more berry and some powdered sugar if you like.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nRemember that you can really mix up the flavours when it comes to berries. Consider chopped strawberries, raspberries, and so on. Just make sure that the fruit that you use fresh, ripe fruit. It should be sweet and ripe enough. You don\u2019t want the fruit to be on the verge of spoiling or so unripe that its sour flavours make you clench your jaw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While many might think of wine as a delicious drink and an ingredient in savoury dishes, many might not realise that it can also be &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2778,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,5],"tags":[614,1813,1816,1817,1818],"class_list":["post-2777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-articles","category-delicious-recipes","tag-cooking-with-wine","tag-red-wine-dessert","tag-red-wine-reduction","tag-red-wine-reduction-recipe","tag-red-wine-sauce-for-dessert"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.3 (Yoast SEO v25.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Red wine reduction for desserts - Prestige Hampers Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Red wine is not just for drinking or savoury dishes.
