Mrs Darlington's Redcurrant & Rosemary Jelly With Gin - 212g

Redcurrant jelly lives in the British cupboard alongside the mint sauce and the horseradish, the little jars that come out when the joint does. Lamb is its natural partner, but it turns up with game, cold cuts and a decent cheeseboard just as happily.

Cooking a roast in Canada is easy enough. Getting it to taste like the one at home is a different job, and it is usually the jar on the side that does it. That is why people go looking for this one by name.

It comes in a 212g jar, a sensible weight that lasts a few roasts. Spoon it alongside the meat, brush it over lamb before it goes back in the oven for a glaze, or melt a little into the pan juices for a gravy with a bit of shine. Check the lid for how to keep it once it is open.

Mrs Darlington's is a family business from Cheshire, best known at home for its lemon curd, jams and chutneys. This jelly sits nicely next to a wedge of British cheese and a packet of oatcakes or crackers.
