Mignonette Sauce for Oysters

Just added raw oysters to my T-day menu, and will make this sauce tomorrow (or tonight - IF I have any energy left after working for 6 hours in the madness and mayhem that WILL be at Costco today - plus singing in the Choir at our "What We are Thankful For" Church Service tonight).

1/2 cup minced shallots (about 2&1/2 oz.)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/8 t. sugar
1/8 t. Kosher* salt
1&1/4 t. finely crushed white peppercorns (the recipe calls VERY firmly for
     whole white peppercorns - but BON CHANCE finding them - so I am using ground white
     pepper)

Peel and coarsely chop the shallots. Put them into a food processor and pulse a few times until the shallots are finely minced, but not mush, with pieces no smaller than the top of a match. You can also mince by hand. Place the minced shallots and any liquid released in a glass bowl. Add the vinegars, sugar, S&P. Stir with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap and chill a minimum of 4 hours - up to 2 days. This sauce will keep for up to a month in the fridge.

Have FUN out there today.

Love,
