Poaching Liquid

• One 750-ml bottle crisp, dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
• 3 cups

Bring the wine to a boil in a saucepan. Skim off any foam that has risen to the top, then add the water and sugar. Return the liquid to a boil and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
