what a give away. Have you tasted Lea and Perrins recently?? You don't have 9 wine bottles of Worcestershire sauce then do you. It is very much worth while making this recipe. I am proud to say this recipe won't taste the same, it tastes more like Lea and Perrins, used to taste like...Darned good.

Nup ...not convinced.... Lea and Perrins is still the same.... thanks..maybe your taste buds have gone array especially since you would add a banana..??? 9 wine bottles... yeessus..and all with banana...why would I want 9 bottles of it...???work out the costs of your ingredients you have listed plus the time and power expended and I'll stick to Lea and Perrins tried and trusted straight off the shelf... thanks...

Here is another similar sauce recipe ...scottdaddy....just as good as each other but in there own, flavours. A smaller recipe.
"Tamarind sauce"
2 liters of malt vinegar , 110 grams of tamarind pulp , 1 Tbsp of sea salt , 1 cup of brown sugar , 700 grams onions , 10 grams of whole pickling spice , 1/4 tsp mace , 2 whole chili peppers , 1 tsp each whole black pepper corns and 1 tsp curry powder. Simmer all together for 1 hour, strain, bottle , cork and mature... Has a Citrus flavour.[ tamarind] This did turn out very well. I could very well be tempted to make this again. Both my Husband, and lover, enjoy this sauce.

how much is a bottle of the sauce now? Binn Inn sells bulk vinegar. I make my own, costs me 50 cents a litre, less if I score a bottle of home brew. My husband made a lot of beer he didn't like, It made darned good vinegar. lol. Yes the out lay can get up there. but in the long run you do get the quantity. You could use the above recipe and omit the tamarind, add 2 lemons skin and all.

I have used the Edmonds one for years but use 4 litres vinegar rather than 4.5

D.Y.C. vinegar is not nice at all now.I noticed a bottle of vinegar I was looking at th other day, was made up using spirit vinegar, caramel colouring, and something else. Spirit vinegar was always a cleaning grade of vinegar.

Well the bottle of Lea & Perrins in my pantry is Australian made and definitely not as good as the original Made in England L&P (which is how we always used to refer to it in the UK much to the amazement of a Hamilton barmaid one day when I asked for a tomato juice with a dash of L&P - yes I almost got Lemon & Paeroa in it).

This is nice and easy. 5 cupsmalt vinegar, 1kg treacle,2 teaspoons salt, 3cm piece green ginger finely chopped,4 cloves garlic finely chopped , 2 tablespoons ground cloves,1 teaspoon cayenne pepper.Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to the boil and cook gently uncovered for 20 minutes. Cover and let it stand overnight. Next day strain and bottle, ready for use immediately but shake bottle before using.

HOMEMADE WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE 3 cups brown vinegar ½ cup each of treacle and plum jam 1 small onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed ¼ tsp each of cayenne pepper, chilli powder and ground cloves 1 tsp ground allspice
Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Stir over heat until the mixture boils. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Strain the mixture into hot sterilised jars and seal when cold. Makes about 2 cups. :-))
This one was put up by Cookessentials...seems a bit more cost effective :} and can be made fresh when needed...Still like Lea and Perrins tho..

In 1835, Lord Marcus Sandys, an ex-governor of Bengal, approached chemists John Lea and William Perrins, whose prospering business in Broad Street, Worcester, handled pharmaceutical’s and toiletries as well as groceries. He asked them to make up a sauce from a recipe which he brought back from India. While his lordship was apparently satisfied with the results, Messrs Lea and Perrins considered it to be an “unpalatable, red-hot fire-water” and consigned the quantity they had made to the cellars. During the stocktake/spring clean the following year, they came across the barrel and decided to taste it before discarding it. To their amazement, the mixture had mellowed into an aromatic, piquant and appetising liquid, They hastily purchased the recipe from Lord Sandys and, in 1838, the Anglo-Indian Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce was launched commercially.

purplegoanna, interesting that sauces and pharmaceuticals are connected.Our local chemist used to sell "glacial acetic acid" for making homemade tomato sauce.
