1
Pour the port wine into a deep saucepan with a thick bottom, add sugar, and place it over medium heat. Stirring the port wine and sugar, wait until the sugar completely dissolves in the wine. Then reduce the heat and simmer the mixture for about twenty minutes until the sauce becomes thick enough to drip from a spoon in heavy crimson drops.
