Recipe - Grenadine - Pomegranate Syrup

3 cup Fresh or individual quick
frozen raspberries; (if
using frozen, do not thaw)
One half cup Sugar
One half cup Port wine 1 tablespoon dry
mustard
1 pn Salt; (optional)
4 lg Chicken breast halves;
(skinless, boneless) 1/4
cup olive oil
Kosher salt; freshly ground
black pepper to taste

In medium saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, wine, cassis and dry
mustard. Simmer, uncovered, over mediumlow heat 20 to 25 minutes.
Raspberries should be soft and mushy. Remove sauce from heat and force
berries and juice through finemesh strainer to remove seeds, making sure
to press through as much of the fruit pulp as possible. This is a
timeconsuming process and is best done in small amounts. If enough pulp is
not extracted, sauce will be too thin. When pulp has been pressed through
sieve; taste and add salt if desired. Cover and keep warm until ready to
use or refrigerate until needed, then reheat.

To cook chicken: Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In large, ovenproof pan, heat oil until very hot. Season chicken beasts
with salt and pepper. Sear chicken in oil until nicely browned on one side.

Turn chicken breasts over, then transfer pan to oven and cook 8 to 10
minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Set chicken breasts
on individual serving plates and serve topped with raspberry sauce. Makes 4
servings.
