Red Wine Syrup

 

Gatekeeper Red Wine Syrup

1 bottle red wine (I like a good cabernet sauvignon for dept of flavor)

4 cups refined white sugar

Combine wine and sugar in a large saucepan.  Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.  Bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low and let simmer (low boil) for approximately 25 minutes, stirring regularly.  Reduce to about ½ volume and mixture thickens into a syrup.

Pour into bowl and cool in refrigerator.  Pour into pint jars or other glass containers that you choose.  Will keep refrigerated for a month or more (I'm betting it won't last that long).

Uses:  Ice cream, pancakes or waffles, cheesecake, whisk into salad dressings, Greek yogurt, add to meat marinades, etc.
