  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  1. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the wine to a boil with the bay leaf and peppercorns and reduce by three quarters. It should have a syrupy consistency. Strain. Mix in the butter bit by bit, add the vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.
