Nectarine Red Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place 1 cup red wine in a small saucepan; boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat; add 2 tablespoons cold cut-up butter, and swirl pan until butter is melted and sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Season with coarse salt; serve with Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon.

Steps:

• Put ginger in bowl of a food processor and chop as finely as possible.
• Add nectarines and puree. Add lemon juice and sugar to taste (nectarines vary in sweetness and acidity).

Steps:

• Pour the fat out of the pan you cooked your steaks in, but don't clean it. Place the pan back on the heat with half the butter and the shallots and sizzle for 2 mins to soften. Stir in the flour and cook to a sandy paste, then splash in the vinegar and simmer for a moment. Pour in the wine and stir, scraping any sticky bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to the boil and bubble for a minute, then whisk in the mustard and then the stock.
• Boil the sauce down to about 200ml in total, then taste and season. Whisk in the remaining butter and the parsley, plus any resting juices from the steaks. Serve the steaks on warm plates and spoon the sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C (fanforced 180C).
• Put the nectarines in ovenproof casserole dish so they fit snugly.
• Scatter with the sugar and dot with the butter. Add the wine, spices and orange zest.
• Cover dish with foil and roast nectarines for 30 minutes, until the fruit is soft.
• Cool nectarines in the syrup, (I refrigerated and served cold).
• These can be served on their own or with either yoghurt, ice-cream or custard.

Steps:

• In four wine glasses, layer up the slices of nectarines, sprinkling them with sugar and basil as you go. Pour the wine over the nectarines and sit the glasses in the fridge for 20 mins to macerate.
• Remove the glasses from the fridge and give everything a little stir to dissolve the sugar. Serve with any remaining wine for topping up and enjoy eating with a spoon.

Steps:

• Bring first 4 ingredients to boil in heavy large saucepan over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook until reduced to sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 22 minutes. Strain sauce; cool. (Can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Arrange 1 nectarine, slices overlapping in circle, on each of 6 plates. Spoon sauce over, garnish with fresh mint sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• Purée half the raspberries or blackberries by forcing them through a sieve or potato ricer to eliminate seeds.
• Place the wine (with raspberries, use white; with blackberries, red) in a 3-quart saucepan. Stir in the sugar, bring to a slow simmer and add the nectarines and pits. Simmer until the fruit is just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the nectarines to a bowl with a slotted spoon, draining well. Discard the pits. Stir berry purée into the pan.
• Bring wine with berry purée to a boil and cook about 15 minutes, until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and framboise or brandy, if using. Allow to cool 30 minutes. Mix the remaining berries with the nectarines. Pour the sauce over the fruit and refrigerate several hours, or overnight. Serve on its own or over ice cream, garnished with mint.
