30 ml fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground white
pepper to taste

1. Combine vinegar, wine, shallots
and peppercorns in small
saucepan and bring to a boil
on Medium (135°C), stirring
occasionally.
2. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until
liquid reduces to about 30 ml.
3. Strain vinegar mixture into small
sauté pan, discarding shallots
and peppercorns.
4. Heat sauté pan on Low (40°C).

may melt too quickly, making it
harder to incorporate into the liquid
and causing the mixture to split
Tip: Do not use salted butter.
