Vickys Homemade Fruity Brown HP Sauce
- 240 ml water
- 240 ml vinegar (true HP sauce uses malt vinegar, I use white so it's gluten-free)
- 120 ml tomato puree/paste
- 180 ml light molasses/treacle or maple syrup
- 60 ml orange juice concentrate (diluting juice)
- 10 pitted dates, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp blackstrap molasses / dark treacle
- 3 tbsp apple juice
- 3 tbsp tamarind paste
- 180 ml apple cider vinegar
- 1 inch of cinnamon stick
- 1/2 tsp whole cloves
- 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- In a large pan over a medium heat, stir together the water, white vinegar, tomato paste, syrup, orange juice concentrate, dates, molasses, apple juice and tamarind.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer and let simmer covered for 15 - 20 minutes
- Grind together the cinnamon stick, cloves, black peppercorns and mustard seed using a pestle and mortar or a spice/coffee grinder.
- Mix with the other spices
- Use an immersion/stick blender to puree the mixture in the pan.
- Add the ground spice mixture, stir to blend and let simmer, covered, for another 30 - 45 minutes
- Add the cider vinegar to the pan, stir to blend and again return to a simmer.
- Once it starts to simmer remove the pan from the heat and strain the hot mixture through a sieve into a clean pot.
