Red Wine Honey Reduction

to be spread on Herb Rubbed Salmon

• 2 cups good red wine

• 1 cup liquid honey

• 6 sprigs of thyme

• 3 bay leaves

• 1 6”x6” piece cheese cloth

Wrap the herbs in the cheese cloth and tie it up in a little bundle. Combine all ingredients in a small heavy bottomed sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the herb bundle, and continue to simmer for approx. 1 hr more. Keep and eye on the reduction and check now and then. It’s done when it has reduced by at least half, and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
