How to Make Sauce For Duck And Ham Black Cherry Port Redcurrant Jel
- Drain 1 (15-ounce) can black cherries in syrup, reserving the syrup. Set cherries aside.
- In a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder (or 1/4 cup chicken broth).
- Add the following to the saucepan: reserved cherry syrup, 1/2 cup good quality port wine, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 155g (approximately 1 cup) Staffords redcurrant jelly, 1 teaspoon grated orange zest, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Begin with 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice. Reserve extra lemon juice to adjust sweetness later.
- Stir the sauce over medium heat until the redcurrant jelly dissolves. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a vigorous simmer until approximately 1 cup of liquid remains (about 10-15 minutes).
- If unsure of the volume, remove from heat, cool slightly, and pour into a measuring cup for accuracy.
- Return the sauce to the saucepan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened (about 1 minute).
- Do not boil for more than 1 minute to prevent the sauce from separating.
- Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more lemon juice as needed, and a pinch of salt if desired.
- Stir in 3/4 cup of the drained black cherries.
- Serve generously over your favorite duck, ham, game, or even vanilla ice cream!
