Chef Stuart’s Ultimate Apple Cider Gravy

Serves 10
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Ingredients

900ml chicken stock

4 tablespoons all purpose flour

300ml apple cider (Bulmers is good)

3 tablespoons cider vinegar

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

4 tablespoons pan juices from turkey

Directions
  1. When your turkey is done, reserve about 4 tablespoons of juices with the fat skimmed off.
  2. Whisk 50ml of the chicken stock with the flour until smooth.
  3. In a saucepan, add the pan juices and bring to a simmer, add in the cider and vinegar and bring to the boil until the liquid is reduced by about half. This should take about 6 – 10 minutes.
  4. Add the rest of the chicken stock.  Increase the heat once again and bring to the boil for about 15 minutes until it has reduced. Whisking every 2 minutes.
  5. Add the flour mixture now and whisk until gravy is thickened over the heat.
  6. Strain through a sieve to remove any lumps or bits.
  7. If reserving until later, place some cling wrap on top of the gravy to avoid a skin forming.

       Serving: Bring back to the heat and serve with the turkey

Getting the gravy right is always important when it comes to the Christmas meal. I love the tanginess of this apple cider gravy; it’s a nice change to the regular gravy from the pan juices combined with water.
