Apples in red wine
4 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | kilograms | Apples (2 1/4 lb) You NEED an apple that will hold its shape during cooking !! |
| 5 | decilitres | Red wine ( 1 pint) |
| 1 | Stick cinnamon | |
| 250 | grams | Sugar (9 oz) |
Directions
Ten hours in advance, cook the wine, cinnamon and sugar over a brisk heat for 10 minutes, using a broad, shallow saucepan.
Peel the apples and, using a melon-baller of about 2½ cm (1 in) diameter, cut them into little balls.
Throw the apple-balls into the hot wine. They should not overlap: this is why you need a broad, shallow pan. Simmer them for 5 to 7 minutes, covered with aluminium foil to keep them submerged.
When the apples are cooked but still firm, remove the pan from the stove. Let the apple-balls macerate in the red wine for about 10 hours to take on a good red colour.
Serving: well chilled, with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, or in a selection of cold fruit desserts.
