Red Wine Sauce with Berries

In a medium saucepan mix together red wine and sugar.

Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a low simmer and add ½ of the blackberries and ½ of the raspberries. Set aside the remaining berries for later.

Allow to simmer for approximately 30 minutes. Midway through the simmering time, use a potato masher to crush the berries in the sauce and skim foam as needed. Sauce is ready when it is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a glass bowl or container and refrigerate.

Remove from refrigerator and add remaining berries. Stir very gently to combine and allow sauce to come to room temperature before serving.

Serve over vanilla ice cream, pound cake, angel food cake, or brie cheese.
