Ingredients

2 oranges

1/2 cup white wine

2 teaspoons minced shallots

1/2 pound unsalted butter

Salt and white pepper

Directions

Zest half of one orange and juice the two oranges . Put the juice, zest, wine and shallots in a sauce pan on medium high heat. Cook until it is syrupy and almost gone.

On low heat, whisk in the butter continuously and vigorously, 1 tablespoon at a time. Butter is the only emulsifier for this sauce, and if you slowly add it, continuously stirring, the sauce will achieve a silky smooth texture. Do not let the sauce boil! Add salt and pepper to taste.
