DIY Brown Sauce - Gluten Free

DIY Brown Sauce - Gluten Free

There is logic in this madness. Almost all Brown Sauces have Wheat Gluten in them. That’s a serious no-no for Sue. There is actually no need and as far as we can tell so far this version tastes much better anyway. We’re supposed to give it 10 days to mature. Well, we’ll see how that goes!!!!

Ingredients:-

4 Apples, cores and chopped
300g of Prunes, chopped
1 Large Onion, diced
375g of Brown Sugar
72G of Salt
900ml of Malt Vinegar
1 Tsp of dried Ginger
½ Tsp of Allspice
½ Tsp Cayenne Pepper
¼ Tsp Grated Nutmeg

Method:-

(1) Open all the windows!
(2) Bung it all in a really big pan and bring to the boil.
(3) Stand outside as the Vinegar fumes will be making you gasp by now!
(4) Reduce the heat and simmer until everything has reduced by 1/3, stirring regularly.
(5) Remove from the heat.
(6) Use a hand blender (Food processor will be fine) and wuzz everything up.
(7) Once cool pour into a clip top jar.
(8) Set aside for 10 days!!!!!

We recycled an existing plastic squeezey which we’ll top up as required.

Gluten free Shortcrust Pastry

Sue often experiments with Pasty. We have Xantham Gum in the cupboard but we really aren’t keen on the “Soapy” taste it sometimes imparts. The Egg in this recipe seems to kill the odd Xantham Gum taste. This recipe is as good as any home made pastry with standard flour as far as I’m concern.

Ingredients:-

220g Gluten Free self raising Flour
110g Tapioca flour
85g Margarine
85g Lard
1 tsp Xantham Gum
1 Egg beaten
80 ml cold water
Salt to season

Method:-

(1) Combine all the ingredients in to a dough and kneed well.
(2) Cover with foil or film and cool in the fridge of at least 30 minutes.
(3) Roll out on a board.
(4) Use the board to slide the pastry over to top of your pre-cooked pie filling.
(6) Brush with Milk.
(7) Cook at 180C for 30 to 45 minutes until browned to your liking.

I had no part in this dish apart from the silly flowers on the top. Oh and eating the pie and really enjoying it!
