Peach Sauce with Mustard

Ingredients

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
• 4 ripe peaches, washed and chopped
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) brandy
• 500 ml (2 cups) vegetable stock
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) wholegrain mustard
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) peach or apricot jam
• 60 ml (4 tbsp) double cream
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) cornflour [optional]

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat a large frying pan and gently fry the onion in the butter and oil until translucent, which takes about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Tip in the garlic and peaches and give it a stir.

3. 3

   Crank up the heat and add the brandy and let it sizzle for a minute.

4. 4

   Add the stock and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes until the liquid has halved.

5. 5

   Stir in the mustard, jam and cream, which will help the sauce to thicken. (Should you prefer your sauce even thicker, combine the cornflour with a splash of water to create a slurry and slowly drizzle it while stirring vigorously.)

6. 6

   Serve immediately with your favourite white meat such as chicken, turkey or pork.
