Best 8 Nectarine Red Wine Sauce Recipes

NECTARINES WITH RED WINE-RASPBERRY SAUCE

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.

NECTARINES AND BERRIES IN WINE SAUCE

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.

ROASTED NECTARINES WITH MULLED WINE SAUCE

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.

RED WINE SAUCE

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.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over steaks, then let steaks rest uncovered for 15 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add steaks and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare and a little longer for medium-rare or medium. (Bone-in steaks take a few minutes longer to cook through than boneless.) If the pan begins to smoke or burn, lower the heat. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
• Add shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled match or igniter to set the brandy on fire. (Stand back when you do this.) Let flames die out, then add red wine and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add stock and boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. Serve steaks and sauce immediately with watercress.

NECTARINE SAUCE

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).

SPICED NECTARINE SAUCE

Steps:

• If you'd rather, peel the nectarines; I like having the peel in there.
• Melt butter in small saucepan over medium high heat.
• Dissolve brown sugar in the melted butter, then add the cubed nectarines and the rest of the spices.
• When mixture starts to simmer, turn heat down to low.
• Simmer in order to achieve desired consistency and allow flavors to blend. You will want this to be chunky, with some textural variation--chunks of fruit in a thick, medium-brown sauce. This may take 5-10 minutes. Remove pods before serving (? I'm actually not sure if you can eat them).
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, or cool and refrigerate.
• My note: this was excellent with hot multigrain cereal! I cooked the cereal first and then added the sauce, about 1:1, stirred it in and warmed it up along with the cereal for a few minutes on low/simmer. Yummy!

NECTARINES IN RED WINE

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.
