2. Mix in red wine vinegar.

3. Simmer 10 minutes to blend flavours, adding water by tablespoons if mixture is dry.

4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

5. Serve warm with Angus prime rib.
   
   This jam may be made a day or two ahead. Re-warm over medium heat before serving.

This dish is excellent paired with CedarCreek Pinot Noir.
