In a sauce pan over high heat add the diced jalapenos, I use about half but you can put in just a little or the entire jalapeno if you like it very spicy. Add the wine and bring to a boil, reduce by half. Lower temperature to medium and add slowly whisk in the cream. Simmer until reduced by half again regularly whisking to keep it from scorching. About 15 minutes. Grab the cold butter from the freezer and add a pat of butter at a time, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted then add another. When you have stirred all the butter in. Add salt and pepper to taste.
