Why It Works

Saupiquet des Amognes

Burgundy & Lyonnais — Burgundian Classics

Not reducing the vinegar sufficiently, producing an aggressively sour sauce. Using smoked ham, whose flavour overwhelms the sauce’s delicate balance. Adding cream before the vinegar reduction is complete, which curdles. Using too much juniper, which makes the sauce taste of gin. Cooking the ham too aggressively in the sauce, which toughens the pre-cooked meat.
