How to Make Carrot Reduction

  2. Bring the carrot juice to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce by half (approximately 1 cup), about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. If the sauce separates, whisk vigorously until smooth and emulsified.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
  5. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency and thickness. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
