Additional Tips
To easily tell when the liquid has been reduced by half use a wooden chopstick and place it in the liquid before you begin reducing it. After the liquid has boiled for a couple of minutes dip the chopstick back into the liquid. You will be able to tell by the marks on the chopstick how much the liquid has been reduced. If you prefer not to use wine a low sodium beef broth works just as well.
