Wine Reduction - Frozen Cubes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 gallon red wine, ie. Gallo Hearty Burgundy or 1 gallon white wine, ie, Chardonnay, Pinot Grio
Preparation
    Heat wine to a boil in a large non-aluminum pot.
    Reduce heat to medium; cook uncovered over medium heat until the wine is reduced to about 4 cups, about 90 minutes. Remove from heat.
    Cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate at least one hour.
    Pour reduced wine into plastic cube trays; freeze.
    Transfer frozen cubes into freezer bags.
    Can be frozen up to 12 months.
    2/7/09: *Please note, to further clarify, once the wine has been reduced, 1 cube measures approximately 2-3T = the equivalent of 1C - 1/2 C wine prior to wine reduction. Wine reduction results in the full flavor of the wine without having to go through the process each time your recipe requires wine.
