Nice sauce to accompany roast meats. A good change from cranberry sauce.

Put 2 cups black currents, 2 cups gooseberries, and one cup water in a saucepan. Add a cinnamon stick, a sprinkle of ground cloves, zest of one large lemon.Cook on low until fruit is soft adding extra water one tablespoon at a time only if it seems to need it. Remove cinnamon stick. Add artificial sweetener to taste, and a sprinkle of vegetable gums if desired to get thicker consistancy.
