Ingredients
- 1/4 cup canned anchovies
- 6-7 garlic cloves
- 2 cardamom pods
- 1 small chunk of fresh ginger
- 1 small white onion
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 whole cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/3 cup raisins (or golden currants, or prunes)
- 1 Tablespoon salt (try smoked salt for a different flavor)
- 2 Tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup molasses (or sorghum)
Instructions
-
Begin this Worcestershire sauce recipe by placing the raisins in a heatproof bowl and pouring the hot water over them. Wait 15 minutes or so for them to plump up, then drain.
-
Puree the raisins, ginger onions and garlic in a food processor. Add about half the vinegar, enough to make a paste.
-
Put this mixture in a saucepan and add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about five minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Pour this mixture into a quart jar and seal. Place the jar in a cool, dark place for about a month to mesh all the flavors together. You can leave it longer if you want a stronger flavor.
-
When your homemade Worcestershire sauce recipe is finished, strain it into another jar and store in a cool, dark place.
Notes
There is no need to refrigerate this since the vinegar is acidic enough to keep it preserved.
