Ham Sauce

Heat a tablespoon melted butter in a saucepan, add three finely chopped shallots and brown for two minutes; then add two ounces cooked lean ham cut into small dice pieces, half a teaspoon freshly chopped parsley, half a teaspoon freshly chopped chives, one gill of claret, and let reduce for five minutes. Pour in one and a half gills demi-glace; let reduce for ten minutes. Mix half tablespoon melted butter with a teaspoon flour, and add little by little to the sauce, continually mixing while adding, then use as required.
