Cumberland Sauce Recipe Mary Berry Food

CUMBERLAND SAUCE

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.

BLACK CUMBERLAND SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onions in the hot oil, until nearly dark brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Pour wine into the saucepan, bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute; remove pan from heat.
• Stir currant jelly, orange juice, orange zest, lemon zest, lemon juice, brown sugar, black pepper, mustard powder, ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt into onion mixture until combined.
• Bring sauce to a boil; remove from heat.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CUMBERLAND SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season pork lightly with salt and pepper and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until brown on the outside and no longer pink but still juicy inside.
• Transfer to plates or a platter and keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 tsp oil to the skillet.
• Add onions or shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds.
• Add wine and bring to a boil, stirring.
• Boil for 5 to 6 minutes, or until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
• Dissolve cornstarch in lemon juice and whisk into the sauce.
• Cook, stirring, until thickened and glossy.
• Remove from heat and stir in jelly, sugar and mustard.
• Taste and adjust seasonings with more salt and pepper, if needed.
• Spoon the sauce over the pork.
• Serves 2 with side dishes, and doubles easily.
• Note from Julie: I used black-currant jelly and the sauce was wonderful. I wouldn't describe it as sweet-and-sour - you'd have to taste it for yourself to know what I mean. 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!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Soften the celery, onion, carrots, bay and 1 thyme sprig in a casserole with 1 tbsp oil and the butter for 10 mins. Stir in the flour, followed by the purée, Worcestershire sauce and stock cubes.
• Gradually stir in 600ml hot water, then tip in the beef and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook in the oven for 2 hrs 30 mins, then uncover and cook for 30 mins -1 hr more until the meat is really tender and sauce thickened.
• Meanwhile, cook potatoes in a pan of boiling water until they're not done but about ¾ of the way there.
• Transfer meat to a baking dish. Slice spuds into 1cm thick rounds and gently toss with seasoning, the remaining oil and thyme leaves. Layer on the beef, scattering with the cheese as you layer. You can cover and chill the pie now for 1 day, or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake for 30-40 mins until golden and crispy, and sauce bubbling if the dish went in cold. Serve with peas.
