Four Peppercorn Sauce

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white wine

1 shallot, finely minced

1 tablespoon crushed four peppercorn blend

1 3/4 cups total beef and chicken stock

1/4 cup whipping cream

***

Directions:

Crush peppercorns. *I put the peppercorns in a zip-loc bag and crush with the flat side of a meat cleaver.

Add to saucepan, wine, shallot and peppercorns. Bring to a boil and simmer until mixture is reduced and only shallots and peppercorns remain with a very slight amount of liquid.

Add beef and chicken stock. *I add to 1 3/4 cup water one small chicken and beef bullion cube.

Boil and reduce to one cup. Add 1/4 cup whipping cream. Return to heat and cook only until it coats the back of a spoon which is about 3 or 4 minutes. If you prefer the sauce a little thicker, cook just a minute or two longer.
