Lemon Caper Butter Cream

• ½ cup dry white wine
• 1 lemons peeled and quartered
• 1 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced shallots
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 turns freshly ground black pepper
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce
• ¼  cup heavy cream
• 1 stick unsalted butter, cut up, at room temperature
• 1 tsp  finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon capers

Directions

1. Heat a small skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the wine, lemons, garlic, and shallots. Cook for 2 minutes, breaking up and mashing the lemons with a wire whisk. Stir in the salt, pepper, Worcestershire, and hot sauce and cook until the mixture is somewhat syrupy, for about 3 minutes.
2. Stir in the cream and cook for 1 minute.
3. Over low heat, whisk in the butter a few pats at a time. When all of the butter has been added, remove from the heat, but continue whisking until all of the butter is incorporated into the sauce. Strain the sauce, pressing all of the liquid into a bowl. Stir in the parsley and capers. Serve immediately, or keep warm for a few minutes until ready to use.
