Orange-Wine Gravy

Yields6 Servings

This is a fancying tasty holiday recipe. My basic sauce is simpler: remove meat from skillet, bring the heat up, pour some white wine (or other liquid like broth, juice or tea) and scrape the bottom of the skillet, let reduce a bit, then add heavy cream, bring to a boil, let reduce until desired consistency is attained. Remove from heat and add seasonings (which should complement the meat you are serving). And voila!

 ½ cup Chicken/turkey stock
 1 cup Dry white wine
 2 tbsp Flour
 3 tbsp Cold water
 ¼ cup Port wine
 ¼ cup Frozen concentrated orange juice
 2 tbsp Orange liqueur (not essential)
1

In a large saucepan, heat stock and wine together.

2

In a medium sized bowl, blend flour and water together to form a smooth paste.

3

Stir in the Port, then add the heated stock-wine mixture.

4

Return the gravy to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

5

Stir in the concentrated orange juice and the orange liqueur.

6

Just before serving, stir into the bottom of a degreased roasting pan to flavour and colour with the juices of the chicken/turkey.
Season to taste.
