Pomegranate Port Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 2 tbsp butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir shallots 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.
• Increase heat to high. Add pomegranate juice and port; boil 15 to 20 minutes or until reduced by half. Add broth; boil 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine flour and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk into broth mixture; reduce heat to medium. Boil gently 3 minutes. (Sauce can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate).

Steps:

• In a small pan or saucepan heat butter over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic until tender.
• Stir in the cream and Port and heat gently.
• Pour over cooked chicken.
• Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325. Spray roasting rack with cooking spray; place in shallow roasting pan. Place thyme in cavity of turkey. Rub garlic over breast, thighs and legs; place in cavity. Place turkey on rack. Brush with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press legs wide open to allow heat to enter cavity. Pour water into bottom of pan.
• Bake 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours or until internal temperature of thickest part of thigh reaches 180 degrees. (Add addition water to pan if water evaporates.) Cover breast loosely with foil when starting to brown (about halfway through baking).
• Meanwhile, boil pomegranate juice, port, and honey in medium skillet over high heat 4 to 5 minutes or until slightly thickened to glaze consistency and bottom of skillet appears while stirring (glaze will thicken more while standing). Remove foil from turkey during last 15 minutes of baking; brush with glaze (glaze will bead up on turkey at first but will begin to adhere with additional brushing).
• Cover turkey loosely with foil and let stand 15 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, water, corn syrup, port wine, lime juice, cinnamon sticks, 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest, cloves, and 1/4 the pomegranate seeds in a heavy pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop and sauce is thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Taste the sauce and add more sugar, corn syrup, or port wine if desired. Remove cloves or cinnamon if the taste is overpowering at this point and add more port wine or lime juice.
• Continue to simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency is reached, 15 to 30 minutes. Remove pot from heat and cool, about 30 minutes. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Remove cinnamon sticks and cloves if still in sauce. Stir remaining pomegranate seeds into sauce and garnish with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest.
