Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large lemon, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 large shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
10 large fresh sage leaves
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup lemon vodka
2 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill lemon slices until charred, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate; chop coarsely.
  • Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sage leaves, garlic, and grilled lemon pieces with any juices, then sugar. Cook until shallots start to color, about 5 minutes. Add wine and vodka. Using long wooden skewer, ignite liquors and let burn off, about 4 minutes. Add beef broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until jus is reduced to 3 cups, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my jus turned out too thick. I think I may have cooked it for too long.

I'm not a big fan of lemon, but I really enjoyed this jus. It's not too tart and the sweetness of the sugar balances it out nicely.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover lemons. I always have a few lemons on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would suggest reducing the amount of sugar by half.

This caramelized lemon jus was a hit! It added a bright and tangy flavor to my roasted chicken. The sweetness from the caramelized sugar balanced out the acidity of the lemons perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again!
