Pontack Sauce
by Mark Diacono from A Year at Otter Farm 鈥� Inspiring Recipes through the Seasons (Bloomsbury)

听

A fine, centuries-old dark, pungent spicy sauce for game & slow-roasted pork, & for adding depth to stews.听 It鈥檚 very good with sausages too.听 It also works well, if differently & more brightly in colour, with autumn olive berries instead of elderberries.

Makes about 350ml

听

INGREDIENTS
500g elderberries (stripped of their stalks with a fork)
200g caster sugar
350ml cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
250g shallots, finely chopped
5 allspice berries
8 cloves
A good grating of fresh nutmeg
3cm piece of ginger, grated
a good pinch of salt
1 tbsp black peppercorns

听

Method
1. Warm the elderberries, sugar & cider vinegar in a pan until the sugar dissolves.
2. Add the remaining ingredients & simmer until the mixture forms a glossy syrup & has reduced a little.
3. Blitz in a blender, then pass through a sieve & pour into sterilized bottles or jars.听
Keep any leftovers in sterilized & sealed bottles or jars, in a cool, dark cupboard.听 The sauce will keep & improve for years.听 Refrigerate once opened.
