If you don't have any brandy, you can use dry white wine or chicken broth instead.
To make the sauce ahead of time, cook the shallots and brandy mixture and then let it cool completely. Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When you're ready to serve the sauce, reheat it over low heat until warmed through.
