4oz Currants
l tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablesppons thyme honey
l level teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons parsley
l teaspoon sage finely ground
Method.
You will need a good blender to be able to:-
Mince the currants and then the leeks seperately
when this is done add the herbs and mix well
add the vinegar and olive oil and mix until a smoother
consistency is achieved then add the honey.,
The consistency of this sauce is more liken to a relish.
It can be used to add flavour to Cheese,Ham, Pork Pies and Sausage,Try it with any
cold or hot meat such as beef .
The Daffodil and The Leek are two emblems of Wales.

Leeks are so large here in the states Rita do I throw all the GREEN parts in compost bin?
Ron’s favorite is Port Pie he doesn’t mind commercials ones but I want to make some fresh smaller ones for him to pop into oven while I am away on the retreat 🙂
Hope all is well in your country and you are enjoying your day

Hi Rita – is this an original Roman recipe? You mentioned museums and historical houses – don’t suppose Erddig in Wrexham was one of them? It’s our local National Trust property – along with Chirk Castle – and as we dog walk there almost daily during the week I’d be interested to find out ^_^

Hi there. The Welsh Leek sauce is not a Roman recipe. We were commissioned to make a special sauce for Wales, for St Davids day and as the leek is an emblem of Wales we chose it for one of the ingredients.It was very popular and sold well.It needs a good food blender to get the leeks fine enough for a smooth consistency, so if you try it let me know how you get on, and of course you can vary the other ingredients to your own taste.We are not in business now and have been retired for 12 years. We love Crete but miss making our sauces and the reenactment fairs where we also sold them. They were great fun.Thanks for your interest. Forgot to say your photo’s are brilliant.Looking forward to reading miore of your posts.
