White Wine Peach Sauce
( Back to Cookbook Main Menu | Back to Soups and Salads | Back to Sauce Recipes )

 

This is our version of a sauce that we saw on TV. They were serving it with a pork roast, and using the pan drippings from the roast. This is an extremely delicious sauce! It works wonders with baked chicken too.

If you are using the sauce for sauted chicken or pork chops; pour off any grease, and then deglaze the pan with a quarter cup of chicken stock and the wine. Or if serving with poached chicken, which is another excellent choice, just use 1/4 cup of rich chicken stock.

1 (1 lb) pkg frozen peaches, cut in 1" pieces
2 cups dry white table wine
1/4 cup chicken stock or pan drippings
1/2 cup sugar
4 tbls rice wine vinegar
3 thyme sprigs
1 tbls Gulden's mustard

Combine the peaches, wine, sugar, 3 tablespoons of the vinegar, chicken stock or pan drippings, and thyme in a sauce pan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, take out the thyme sprigs, and smash the peaches with a potato masher. Return the pot to the heat, and continue cooking until it is reduced to about 2 1/2 cups.

Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the last 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and the tablespoon of mustard.
