Mint Julep Sauce
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 1/2 cups white balsamic vinegar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
2 cups chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
Directions to make Mint Julep Sauce,
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook the shallot in
the melted butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour the vinegar,
water, and 3 tablespoons of the bourbon into the saucepan; stir the
mint and sugar into the liquid until the sugar is dissolved. Increase
the heat to high and bring to a boil; immediately remove from heat
and allow the mixture to steep for about 15 minutes. Strain through
a fine mesh strainer. Stir 1 tablespoon bourbon into the sauce to
finish.
