Remove the thyme sprig. step 3. Increase the heat and add the port and red wine. Continue to cook until reduced by half, so that it has a syrup like consistency. step 4. Add the two stocks to the liquid and reduce until the desired consistency is achieved. step 5. Once this is reached pass through a very fine sieve so that a smooth liquid sauce remains.
