Recipe - Bearnaise Sauce

8 ounce Butter
One fourth cup Red wine vinegar
One fourth cup White wine vinegar
2 tablespoon Shallot; chopped
1 tablespoon Tarragon; chopped
Salt and pepper
4 Egg yolk
Water
1 Whole lemon; juiced

1. Clarify the butter by heating slowly. When it stops inging it's
clarified and you can pour off the top part the solids will be in the
bottom of the pan. Keep warm.

2. In a small saucepan, heat the vinegars with the shallots, tarragon, salt
and pepper. Let boil slowly until all the liquid has been reduced.

3. In a stainless steel bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1 tablespoon of water
over a double boiler on a low flame. This will create a lot of volume to
the yolks while cooking them. Beath until you reach the ribbon stage.

4. Stir in the clarified buytter, very slowly, as you would do for a
mayonnaise. Add the reduction.

5. Correct the seasonings with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Keep in a
warm place for up to three hours.
