Categories: Sauce Fruit Spice Game Check
Yield: 1 Batch

2	c	Cloudberries
1/2	c	Port or
1/2	c	Dry red wine plus
2	tb	Honey
1	c	Orange juice
1/2	c	Lemon juice
1/2	c	Chopped onion
1	ts	Dry mustard
1/2	ts	Ground ginger
1		Dried chile pepper; crushed and powdered*
1	tb	Coarsely shredded orange rind
1	tb	Coarsely shredded lemon rind
1 1/2	tb	Arrowroot flour

*If you are feeling bold, try a habanero; if this is too hot for your palette, substitute a less potent type of chile pepper.

Puree the cloudberries in a blender or food processor.

Heat the cloudberry puree in a heavy saucepan and mix in the other ingredients except the arrowroot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Be careful as this may foam up. Strain the sauce through a sieve and return to the flame. Combine the arrowroot flour with a little of the hot sauce in a cup and mix thoroughly. Stir this back into the sauce and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Do not allow to boil.

Use as a sauce with roast goose, ham, pork, or game.
