WINE REDUCTION - FROZEN CUBES
If you cook with wine, this is a great trick. Make ahead, freeze and use as needed. No need to open a bottle when your recipe calls for wine. *One cube equals 2-3 Tablespoons, which equals 1- 1 1/2 cups wine. Choose your favorite red or white or make both. Kudos to Eleanor Hetz for this recipe, posted in the Chicago Tribune 2/05. Enjoy! UPDATE: 1/11, I made 2 trays from about 1 liter of wine. It really doesnt' matter how much wine you start with, just reduce it by half. Cooking time is for both reduction & chilling, not freezing. You're on your own for that one!

Steps:
- Heat wine to a boil in a large non-aluminum pot.
- Reduce heat to medium; cook uncovered over medium heat until the wine is reduced to about 4 cups, about 90 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate at least one hour.
- Pour reduced wine into plastic cube trays; freeze.
- Transfer frozen cubes into freezer bags.
- Can be frozen up to 12 months.
- 2/7/09: *Please note, to further clarify, once the wine has been reduced, 1 cube measures approximately 2-3T = the equivalent of 1C - 1/2 C wine prior to wine reduction. Wine reduction results in the full flavor of the wine without having to go through the process each time your recipe requires wine.
