"SOURCE Jeff Smith the FRUGAL GOURMET with modifications This recipe is a family favorite and doubles or triples wonderfully for large gatherings. When I cook on the stove top I use a low heat for several hours adding wine as it cooks down until the last hour. Make sure if using stovetop method to stir frequently."
