PK's Sweet Balls

2 Cups Red Wine
1 Cup Sugar
2 Cinnamon Stick
2 Bay Leafs
8 Golden Apples
1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
Fresh Mint leafs (for garnish)

Directions:
In a sauce pan reduce red wine, sugar, cinnamon stick and bay leaves for 10 minutes or until reduced until a little over 1/2 the liquid is remaining. Peel and ball all 8 apples with a Mellon-Baller device. Add Apple balls, cover, and cook for 10 minutes (stirring occasionally). Rotate the apple balls and cook until the wine is reduced further. Turn off heat and let cool for 10 minutes or until luke warm. Remove bay leaves and cinnamon sticks.



In a bowl, place 1/2 inch of wine mixture and then add a racket ball size of vanilla bean ice cream in the center of the bowl. Finally, top with PK's Apple Balls surrounding the ice cream mound. And garnish with a fresh mint leaf on the very tippity top.
