1. Put the serranos, shallots, garlic, and vinegar in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until liquid boils down to about 1 teaspoon, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and cream. Boil briskly, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1½ cups, about 10 minutes. (Watch to prevent boil-over.) Pour the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Press solids with a spoon to extract the juices. Discard the solids. Return the sauce to the saucepan.
2. In small bowl mix about 2 tablespoons of the sauce with the cornstarch and stir into the sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the salt. The sauce is ready to use, or cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.
