Whidbey Island in Washington’s Puget Sound is one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest. At one time, the island was home to the world’s largest loganberry farm. Loganberries can now be purchased fresh or frozen in many markets, but boysenberries or blackberries would work as well. The sauce is particularly good with chicken, duck, or game hens.
Suggested Beverage: Greenbank Farm Loganberry Wine, a good Pinot Noir, or any medium-bodied red wine with distinct berry aromas.

Transfer the contents to the slow cooker and add the loganberry wine, vinegar, loganberries, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper flakes. Stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until thickened. A few minutes before serving, stir in the lemon juice and salt to taste.
Step 2
Tightly covered, the sauce will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
