1 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

Boil sugar and water for 8 full minutes.

Remove from heat and pour in claret.

Let sit until it reaches room temperature (will thicken into a sauce consistency).

Alternatively, you can add strawberries and rhubarb to the boiling water/sugar and then strain for a Strawberry Rhubarb Claret Sauce.
