Instructions: Drain and strain the turkey juices into a saucepan at a moderate heat, and reduce the liquid to half, concentrating the flavour. Add the stock, shredded apricots, orange peel and apricot jam.

Bubble for several minutes until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat and add the brandy before serving. You can brush the whole turkey with a little of the sauce before serving to bring up the colour and sweeten the flavour of the juices from the turkey.
