Ingredients

2 cups apple cider
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 head garlic, cut in half
2 shallots, quartered
3 bay leaves
2 dozen peppercorns
6 cups chicken stock
Sea salt
White pepper

Directions

To a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over high heat, add the apple cider and bring to a boil. Adjust heat to a simmer and cook until cider is reduced by half. Add vinegar and simmer until mixture is reduced by one-third. Add garlic, shallots, bay leaves, peppercorns and stock and return to a boil. Reduce by half, or until sauce is thick enough to coast the back of a wooden spoon. Season with sea salt and white pepper. Makes 2 1/2 cups demi-glace.
