GRAPEFRUIT BUTTER SAUCE: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine ¾ cup Kowalski's Freshly Squeezed Grapefruit Juice, ½ cup dry white wine and 2 tbsp. Champagne vinegar; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to about ¼ cup (about 15 min.). Whisk in 2 tbsp. heavy cream. Reduce heat to low; whisk in 4 tbsp. cold Kowalski's Unsalted Butter a little at a time until melted. Season sauce to taste with finely minced fresh Italian parsley, kosher salt and freshly ground Kowalski’s Black Peppercorns.
