(Radjurspate)
While visiting Sweden we were served this traditional-style terrine without currant sauce, but we like its added bite and color.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°. Combine venison, ham, onions, garlic, thyme, tomato purée, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, and stock in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, and pack into an oiled 4- to 5-cup terrine mold. Cover terrine with aluminum foil and a lid. Place terrine in a roasting pan, add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come two-thirds of the way up sides of the mold, and bake for 1 hour. Cool terrine, loosen with a knife, then unmold and chill.

Step 2

For the sauce, combine honey, mustard, jelly, sugar, and 1 tbsp. water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, over medium heat. Add cinnamon, ginger, orange juice, lemon juice, and currants and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and chill. Spread over top of terrine and serve.
