Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For the sauce

8 tbsp (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes

For serving

1 tbsp fresh chives, finely snipped (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, minced shallot, thyme sprig, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced to about 2 tablespoons and the shallot is very soft, 8–10 minutes.
2
Remove the thyme sprig and discard it. Pour the reduction through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl, pressing the shallot solids to extract all the liquid, then discard the solids. Return the strained reduction to the saucepan over the lowest heat setting.
