It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

30-60 minutes
ingredients
3 whole cloves
6 black peppercorns
1 stick (2-inch) cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
2 cups zinfandel wine
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 cup dried pitted sour cherries
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup good quality beef stock
directions
Toast the cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon, cumin seed, and cardamom in a heavy saucepan, stirring about 3 minutes until all are hot and aroma released.
Add the zinfandel and brown sugar, then simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. When zinfandel is reduced, remove saucepan from heat and add cherries. Let soak while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter. Whisk the beef stock into the chocolate and heat. Add the spiced zinfandel and keep warm until served.
This warm and savory sauce is wonderful with roasted or grilled meats. Serve with lamb, pork, or grilled chicken.
