FRENCH BEARNAISE SAUCE
This is a classic French sauce that is exciting if you use fresh tarragon. It makes all the difference in the world! As soon as the sauce is thickened, set the pan in a bowl of ice cold water to stop the cooking. Your sauce should not separate if you do it this way. This is wonderful over Artichoke Fritters!

Steps:
- Combine the vinegar, wine, scallions, and tarragon in a small saucepan. Place it over high heat and boil until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
- Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water and bring it almost to a boil. Lower the heat so that the water is hot but not boiling.
- Combine the egg yolks and the reserved scallion mixture in the top of the double boiler, and place the top over the bottom. Gradually whisk in the melted butter in a slow, steady stream. Continue whisking until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
- Makes 1 1/2 cups.
