CUMBERLAND SAUCE



Cumberland Sauce image

This is, for me, one of the great classic English sauces, provided it's made with a good-quality redcurrant jelly with a high fruit content; some of the commercial varieties are lacking in fruit and are too sickly sweet. Cumberland sauce is always served cold and is a wonderful accompaniment to either hot or cold gammon, tongue, cold goose or game, and it goes extremely well with a slice of Old-fashioned Raised Game Pie, see below. This sauce should not be thickened - it is meant to have a thinnish consistency.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium lemon
1 medium orange
4 heaped tablespoons good-quality redcurrant jelly
4 tablespoons port
1 heaped teaspoon mustard powder
1 heaped teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • First, thinly pare off the zest of both the lemon and the orange, using a potato peeler, then cut them into very small strips ½ inch (1 cm) long and as thin as possible. Boil them in water for 5 minutes to extract any bitterness, then drain well. Now place the redcurrant jelly in a saucepan with the port and melt, whisking them together over a low heat for about 5 or 10 minutes. The redcurrant jelly won't melt completely, so it's best to sieve it afterwards to get rid of any obstinate little globules. In a serving bowl, mix the mustard and ginger with the juice of half the lemon until smooth, then add the juice of the whole orange, the port and redcurrant mixture, and finally the strips of lemon and orange zest. Mix well and the sauce is ready to use. Cumberland sauce stores well in a screw-top jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

ROAST MOOSE WITH CUMBERLAND SAUCE, MARK'S



Roast Moose with Cumberland Sauce, Mark's image

Mark's dad hunted to feed his Polish family. This clearly is one recipe from that...

Provided by Megan Stewart

Categories     Wild Game

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 lb moose
1 bunch garlic
2 c cumberland sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare roast by slicing cuts into the roast and inserting whole cloves of garlic into the cuts (the more the better). Lay the roast onto sheets of tinfoil (overlap two sheets for width). Douse the roast in the barbecue sauce. Wrap the roast up with the foil, making a nice package. Roast the meat in a 350F oven for about an hour.
  • 2. Notes: FYI, this same recipe can be used with buffalo, and the result is just as great. Serve with mashed boiled chestnuts and wilted greens for a real treat.

  • Transfer to plates or a platter and keep warm.
  • Add remaining 1 tsp oil to the skillet.

But I used this recipe the first time I ever cooked pork tenderloin and it's become a recipe I use again and again as a favorite!
