Christmas Red Wine Gravy (Gluten Free)

Method

• Heat the vegetable oil in saucepan, and add the onions and garlic and really brown well.
• Cook over a fairly high heat until they are well coloured, about 15 minutes.
• Add the red wine and boil for 2 minutes, then add the stock, thyme and jelly.
• Bring back to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce has reduced by about half.
• Carefully thicken with half the cornflour and water mixture until you have a nice sauce consistency.
• Do not over thicken, you can always add a little more later.
• Season well with salt and pepper, you may want to add a touch more jelly.
• Strain through a fine sieve and keep warm.
