Simmer with sugar and cinnamon until the liquid reduces into a fragrant, syrupy sauce, then serve with pound cake, fresh berries, and whipped cream. It's also delicious drizzled over baked apples or vanilla ice cream. Ingredients 1 cup red wine 3 tablespoons sugar 1 cinnamon stick Directions In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine wine, sugar, and cinnamon stick; cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil; cook until mixture is syrupy and reduced to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately. Cook's Notes This recipe can easily be doubled; increase the boiling time to 15 minutes.
