Method
Steps
Step 1
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the diced ham, prepared carrots, onions, leek, parsley, celery, cloves, peppercorns, bay, thyme, green pepper, garlic, salt and scant powdered sugar. Stir over brisk heat for about 12 minutes until browned.
Step 2
Sprinkle in the flour and stir for another five minutes. Add tomatoes and cold water. Mix thoroughly, cover and simmer very gently for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Pass through a sieve, then through clean cheesecloth for a smooth sauce. Use immediately, or cool promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate.
