Ingredients
- 100g currants
- 200g sultanas or raisins
- 120g dark muscovado sugar
- 120g unsalted butter
- 70ml medium sherry
- Finely grated zest of 1 large orange
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- A generous grating of nutmeg
Combine the fruit with the sugar, butter, sherry, orange zest, cinnamon and nutmeg in a heavy-based saucepan and put on a gentle heat for a few minutes until the butter melts and the fruit softens slightly in the buttery syrup. Bring to a gentle simmer and simmer for a minute or two. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Store in the fridge until needed.
