 Lower heat & continue stirring as sauce thickens and

 more dissolved arrowroot or cornstarch, a teaspoon at
 a time, until sauce reaches desired consistency.

 Variations: Substitute another cup of wine for one of
 the cups of water.  OR Add 1 cup of sliced sauteed
 mushrooms to the sauce just before the arrowroot or
 cornstarch.
