Ingredients

2 tablespoon butter, divided

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

1 cup ruby port

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 cup frozen pitted cherries, thawed and halved

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in port, vinegar, cherries, and dark brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until sauce has reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoons of butter; season with salt and pepper to taste. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating when ready to use.
