Cumberland sauce is a classic English sauce that is typically served with game meats, such as venison, duck, and pheasant. It is also a delicious accompaniment to pork and beef. The sauce is made with a base of redcurrant jelly, which gives it a sweet and tart flavor. Other ingredients commonly used in Cumberland sauce include port wine, orange zest, lemon juice, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. The sauce is typically thickened with cornstarch or arrowroot powder. Cumberland sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

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.
CUMBERLAND SAUCE, MARK'S
Mark's Polish family recipes, there is a recipe for Moose with Cumberland Sauce already in JAP. This is the sauce for that recipe.

Steps:
- 1. In small saucepan, combine port and orange peel. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Stir in orange juice, lemon juice, currant jelly and cayenne until well blended. Bring to boiling, then reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, until jelly is melted. Serve warm or cold.
- 2. Notes: This works well with any red meat (even beef) but moose and buffalo are especially good with this sauce!
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. This is especially true for the fruits and vegetables.
- Don't overcook the sauce: Cumberland sauce should be cooked until it has thickened slightly, but it should not be overcooked. Overcooked sauce will lose its flavor and become too thick.
- Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more sugar, vinegar, or mustard. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
- Let the sauce cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
- Serve the sauce with your favorite foods: Cumberland sauce is a great accompaniment to roasted meats, grilled fish, or cold cuts. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chips.
Conclusion:
Cumberland sauce is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a new sauce to try, give Cumberland sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
