Smokey Bacon Port Sauce Directions:

2. Strain off the excess fat and put the pan back on the heat
3. Deglaze the pan with 4 cups of the Port wine and scrape the saucepan with a spatula to release any excess bacon bits from the bottom of the pan
4. Turn up the heat to medium (alchohol may ignite)
5. Reduce the wine by 1/4 and skim off any impurities that rise to the surface
6. Add the rest of the wine, the diced shallots, and peppercorns
7. Reduce by 1/3
8. In a small bowl, make a slurry with corn starch and water
9. Whisk the slurry into the pan until the sauce is slightly thick
10. Salt to taste
