CHERRY HORSERADISH SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Drain the cherry juice into a large saucepan and set the cherries aside.
• Add the port, beef broth, horseradish, tomato paste, shallot, bay leaf, and peppercorns.

• Dissolve the arrowroot in 1 teaspoon water and stir into the sauce.
• Simmer until the sauce is shiny and slightly thickened, 1 minute longer.
• Strain, cover, and set aside (This can be prepared a few hours ahead if you refrigerate the sauce, bring it to room temperature before proceeding.)
