Mushrooms In Cranberry Reduction - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon garlic (minced or crushed)
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced thickly
1/2 cup cranberry juice (no artificial sweeteners, at least 25% cranberry juice)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

In a non-stick pan saute the garlic and shallots in the olive oil. Do not brown them.
When the shallots and garlic are soft (about 3-5 minutes), add the mushrooms. Stir gently until mushrooms soften and give up their liquid.
Turn up the heat to medium and add the juice, vinegar, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
Bring to brisk boil and reduce the liquid to about 1/3 cup, stirring to keep ingredients from sticking.
Either spoon over sliced steak or serve separately.
