Stokes Sauces: Winter Mustards & Cranberry Sauces

Wintry Essentials

I'm delighted to be writing this on the perfect late Autumn, early Winter's day. Blue skies, bright sunlight shimmering remnant leaves and a chill in the air.

It's time for hearty meals, cheered with the great taste of Stokes. Whether you use it on the side or as an ingredient, stirred into a sauce or casserole - it is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Cranberry & Mushroom
'No-sausage' Roll.

In a mini version (cut small) it makes a scrumptious party nibble. Soften a diced onion and grated garlic clove in a pan of hot oil for 10 minutes. Very finely chop 450 g of assorted mushrooms and add them to the pan with a good knob of butter.

After 10 minutes remove, drain and cool the contents. Pop it all in a bowl and stir in an egg, 100 g of Stokes Cranberry Sauce (or our Orange & Cranberry Sauce which we steep in Ruby Port) 2 tbsp of Stokes Brown Sauce and a sprinkle of mixed dried herbs.

Roll this into a long 'meatless' sausage and fold it into a sheet or ready rolled puff pastry, rolled out to the thickness of a pound coin.

Seal the edges and score the pastry at 60mm or 30mm intervals (for long or short rolls). Wash the pastry with an egg and bake for 30 minutes at 200°C/Gas mark 7. You and your friends will love them.

Cranberry Sauce
- so good we made it twice (thrice)

Stokes Cranberry Sauce is crammed with a host of big juicy North American cranberries. Knowing eyes have watched them bubble gently with sugar to balance the sweet tartness of this intensely fruity sauce.

We thought we couldn't possibly improve on that - but we did, by letting it cook with Ruby Port and adding the zest of Seville oranges, creating a rounder taste with citrus sensations. The Cranberry & Orange Sauce with Ruby Port was born.

As if that wasn't enough, as you see, we have added an extra special limited edition version - the Orange Cranberry & Cinnamon Conserve but it's only available in the 'Taste of Luxury' gift collection'.
