One of my favorite sauces to go with chicken, pork, or duck, is a port wine cherry sauce. It pairs greatly because it can cut through the richness of a fattier cut of meat with the natural sweetness of the port wine and cherries. Port wine is a sweet red fortified wine from Portugal. It is naturally sweet, and goes great in sauces. In this sauce it is paired with the cherries, chicken stock, shallots, garlic, rosemary and butter. It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. If you are looking for an easy sauce that can be thrown together quickly, I highly recommend trying this one out!
