2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream -- whipping cream
2 pickled jalapeno chili -- thinly sliced
1 tablespoon pickle juice from jalapenos -- or to taste
1/4 cup sour cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

Melt the butter in a nonreactive saucepan. Add the onion and cook over
medium heat until soft but not brown, about 3 minutes.

Add the wine and bring to full boil. Boil the wine, uncovered, until
reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 4 minutes.

Add the cream and sliced chilies. Briskly simmer the mixture, uncovered,
until reduced by one-third, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pickling liquid,
sour cream, ad salt and pepper to taste. Heat through but do not let the
mixture boil. Serve this sauce warm.

Makes 1 cup (16 one-tablespoon servings).

AuthorNote: This sauce turns up at Miami's numerous Nicaraguan
restaurants, where it's served with everything from sauteed shrimp to
beef. Pickled jalapeno chilies are sold in jars and can be found in the
ethnic foods section of most supermarkets.
