Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced shallot
• 1 tablespoon of Old Town Oil’s Sweet Hojiblanca, or ‘Sweet-H’ for short!
• ½ cup of Old Town Oil’s Red Apple balsamic vinegar
• ½ cup red wine
• 1 ½ chicken stock
• 1 cup beef or veal stock
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 Granny Smith apple
• ½ cup golden raisins

Cook garlic and shallots in 1 tablespoon of ‘Sweet-H’ in sauce pan and until softened. Add red wine and Red Apple balsamic vinegar and boil until reduced, about 8-10 minutes.

Now, add chicken and beef/veal stock and reduce to about 1 ¼ cups: takes about 15-20 minutes.

Peel apple and cut into small dice. In a medium sauté pan, sauté apple and raisins in 1 tablespoon butter until apple is golden brown, but not falling apart (about 2-3 minutes). Add vinegar/stock sauce and simmer for 1 minute, salt and pepper if necessary.

Lastly, spoon over pork chops, pork tenderloin, chicken or even duck!!!
