Ice Cream With Red Wine Reduction Sauce and Fresh Fruit image

This is a simple and delicious dessert -- one of my favorites. The richness of the sauce balances well with the simple flavors of vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit. I prefer to use fresh sliced peaches or mango, but I'm sure other fruits would be delicious.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

750 ml red wine (1 bottle)
1 cup sugar
10 peppercorns
1 vanilla bean
sliced seasonal fruit
vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Pour one bottle of red wine into a saucepan.
  • Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise. (Do not substitue vanilla extract for the bean -- the flavor is not anywhere near the same or as good.).
  • Add the vanilla bean, sugar and peppercorns and keep on a low, rolling boil until the liquid reduces to about a cup. (this will take around a half an hour).
  • Remove from heat and allow to finish thickening.
  • Pour sauce over sliced fresh fruit (I prefer peaches or mango) and all natural vanilla ice cream.
  • The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
