Ingredients:  
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
3/4 cup slice onion (like half of a small one)
2 tablespoons peppercorns
6 thin slices of fresh jalapeņo
1/2 teaspoon salt (The original recipe calls for half a tablespoon, but I went with a 1/4 teaspoon for a half batch and it was plenty salty. Do with that what you will.)
2 tablespoons white wine
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups American cheese (I used Velveeta)
2 cups shredded cheddar
Directions:
Directions:

Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium sauce pan. Add the onions, peppercorns, and jalapeņo, and cook until the onions are completely soft. (I let my brown on the edges, though the video does not say to do this.) Deglaze the pan with wine and vinegar, let it reduce until it is syrupy and almost evaporated, then pour the cream on top, remove the pan from the heat, and cover and let steep for half an hour.

After half an hour has elapsed, strain out the solids, then return the cream to the pan and heat over medium-low until bubbles start to form around the edge of the pan. Add your cheese, and cook and whisk until it melts into a luscious sauce.
