Ingredients
Method
Pour 2 tbsp oil into a large saucepan and set over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot and sugar; fry, stirring, for 10 minutes until very golden and starting to soften. Stir in the mushrooms and fry for a further 3 minutes until softened, then add the remaining 3 tbsp oil and the flour. Stir until the oil and flour form a smooth paste around the vegetables, then leave to cook for 2 minutes.
Add the white grape vinegar to the pan, scraping the base of the pan with a wooden spoon, then add the rest of the ingredients except the blackcurrant conserve. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer the gravy for 40 minutes. Stir the conserve into the pan, cook for 2 minutes, then carefully strain through a fine sieve into a saucepan. Season and keep warm until you are ready to serve. If you would like the gravy to be thicker, simmer for a further 5 minutes, or until thickened to your liking
