Cumberland Sauce



This is the best of all sauces for cold meat, legendary with venison. The sauce is served cold but may be served with warm or hot meats. Ok with smoked meats-chicken as well.
With a vegetable peeler pare the rind from 2 large oranges.
Slice into matchsticks. Plunge into boiling water and boil 5 minutes. Strain.
Put them in a bowl with 4 Tbsp. Redcurrant jelly, a heaping teaspoon of Dijon or Creole mustard, a pinch of pepper and salt and a pinch of ground ginger (dried).
Melt the mixture over very low heat, stirring-don’t let it catch on the bottom. Add 7 or 8 Tbsp. Port wine. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
You should have no lumps. If you do blend it in your blender. Serve cold.
