Recipe Introduction


"This is the 'go with anything' sauce - it's perfect with ham or sausage, and goes really well with white meats and duck, too!"


List of Ingredients




12 oranges
4 lemons
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp (20 ml spoon) redcurrant jelly
arrowroot (or cornstarch) *Cornstarch can be used instead of the arrowroot, but this will make the sauce cloudy - arrowroot, keeps it a little clearer



Recipe



Zest all of the oranges and lemons (either using a zesting tool or by cutting zest into fine julienne strips).

Squeeze the juice from the oranges and lemons, and pass through a fine sieve or chinois into a heavy based saucepan.

Add the zest and bay leaf to the saucepan. Place on a high heat and bring to the boil. When boiling, turn down to a gentle simmer. Allow to reduce, constantly skimming the 'scum' from around the edges of the pan, until reduced by half.

Pass the juices through a fine sieve and into a fresh pan, and return to the heat. Stir in the redcurrant jelly until dissolved. Slake a little arrowroot in water, and add enough to the pan to just slightly thicken the sauce. Serve immediately.

YIELD: Serves 4
