Ever wonder how a sauce can define a dish? This traditional cumberland sauce, with its blend of tart, sweet, and spice notes, could be your new secret weapon at dinner parties.

2 cups water
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon finely slivered orange zest
1 tablespoon finely slivered lemon zest
1/2 cup red currant jelly
1/4 cup tawny port
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

I grew up having this on ham. Made it myself for the first time and boy oh boy did it bring back good memories. Tasted just like I remember. It does contain ingredients that one doesn't always have on hand (port, currant jelly) but it's worth buying them for this recipe. Haven't had it on venison as the recipe mentions but I bet it would be delicious.
