Do You Think This Is A Good Idea?

[Mirj]

I've got a 3/4 full bottle of sweet white muscat wine, it didn't go over well

I'd hate to toss it down the sink, and it really is too sweet to drink.

I'm planning on making meatballs in a sweetish tomato sauce tomorrow, in the crock. Do you think adding the wine would be a good idea? Would slow cooking in the crock turn it into something really disgusting?

I have personally never done anything in the CP with wine but don't see why it would hurt it.
But I did come across one recipe using wine here at zaar

I think it would be ok
most recipes call for dry white wine.

I would probably save it for something else, rather than the crockpot.

It might work well in something like this: Prawns in an Apple Sauternes Broth, instead of the Sauternes. A recipe where the wine is supposed to be sweet.

Don't eat prawns, oops.

I'm going to try it, it's just the broth for the sweet/sour meatballs.

Well, I made my meatballs (giant ones, more like klops). I made the sauce out of tomato paste, the sweet white wine, a little brown sugar, lots of black pepper, and tons of paprika.

The smell is heavenly. I did taste the sauce a few minutes ago, this is going to be good!

Leftovers are the mother of invention.

Did you happen to post the recipe?

[Mirj]

Gimme a moment to think about it, I didn't measure anything!

Okay, I just posted the recipe, I'll post the link when it goes public.

Okay, it's up!
