'''Redcurrant sauce''', also known as '''redcurrant jelly''', is an [[England|English]] condiment, consisting of [[redcurrants]] (''Ribes rubrum''), [[sugar]] and [[rosemary]]. Some other recipes include additional ingredients, including: red wine, white wine, port, mustard, lemon or orange zest and very ocassionally [[shallots]].<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/redcurrantsauce_70110</ref> The sauce is traditionally eaten as part of a [[sunday roast]], particularly with roast lamb, roast goose or roast turkey<ref name=joy>{{cite book|last=Famularo|first=Joe|title=The Joy of Grilling|year=1991|publisher=Barron's Educational Series|isbn=0812047036|page=242|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=sMEN5PDhlOYC&dq=redcurrant+sauce&source=gbs_navlinks_s}}</ref> and is an integral part of [[Christmas dinner]] in Britain.
The sauce is also a popular accompaniment to all types of game. It is very similar, if somewhat simpler than [[Cumberland sauce|Cumberland]] and Oxford sauces that have [[port]] added to their constituents. The prominence that American food has gained within the last century, has led to redcurrant sauce being partially replaced by [[cranberry sauce]] as the condiment of choice.
