BLACK CURRANT MARINADE

makes 160ml

Frozen black currants are a handy ingredient to have on hand. I like to use them in meat sauces, crème brulee, ice cream and cakes. I admire their strong and sweet sour flavour. Seek out New Zealand grown if you can. Store marinade in refrigerator for up to 1 week.

INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup red currant or cranberry jelly, or plum jam
1/4 cup frozen black currants (thawed and roughly chopped}
1 tablespoon Tamari soy sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 clove crushed garlic
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tsp finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


METHOD
Into a bowl put all the ingredients and whisk to combine.
