Warm Raspberry Red Wine Sauce for Fish, Chicken, or Pork

"This sauce is a great addition to the wonderful smoked flavors of cedar planked salmon. It is a spiced up version of a recipe I found on the Web. The original version was sour and bitter so I added a bit of sweetening and heat to perk it up and bring out its fruity goodness! It is also good with white fish and chicken. I might even try it on pork if I was so inclined."

  1. I made this sauce to go along with grilled chicken, and found it complemented very nicely. It definitely was not overpowering as a sauce, and I found it's subtlety very satisfying. It is definitely a tart sauce, and I'm just not quite sure I appreciated it completely on the chicken. I would love to try it on cedar plank salmon as suggested. One thing, once it reduced to the desired consistency we were left with a very seed-heavy sauce. I might try next time straining at least part of the raspberries through a sieve at the beginning to eliminate some of that. Overall, very tasty though! Made for PAC Spring 2009
