Spiced Red Wine Reduction

This sweet syrop is perfect over oranges or other citrus, or over icecream. It can be kept in the fridge for several days.

  • 1 bottle dry red wine (750 ml)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks - broken
  • Fresh ground nutmeg to taste

Pour the wine in a heavy pot. Add sugar and broken cinnamon sticks and slowly heat to dissolve sugar, stirring often. Bring mixture to a boil.
Continue boiling until the mixture is reduced to 1 to 1-1/2 cups (this can take an hour or more, depending how rapid the boil). Chill and serve over fresh citrus fruit salads.

"We went away for our anniversary, we had never stayed at a bed and breakfast, but this is and was beyond our highest expectations. This five star performance was a weekend we will never forget. The service, the food, the host, were all amazing, and more than most five star hotels. If you want to get away and relax, turn everything off, this is where you want to be. Hope to see you much sooner than later!"
Shawn & Shannon, Nanaimo, BC

"It’s hard finding words to express how lovely a time we had here. Too bad we will never be able to see what the other B&Bs are like here - Ambrosia is our second home!"
