Hi Stef, the receipe you are looking for is here.  I've made it several times now and it is very popular, but I would suggest leaving windows open whilst you are making it as it has quite a strong "aroma" - it's worth it though!

.... looks like Katya and I had the same idea at the same time.  Sorry for the duplication.

Tnx for the tip. This was exactly what i was looking for.. Now i have one more question.. I do not know what teacle or molasses are. We can not find this in belgium under that name.. And secondly could i use dried prunes rehydrated in a water and sugar solution and cooked as a substitute for the jam?

[Cuilidh]

Treacle is a very dark colour and is a sugar based product.  I'm not sure what the equivalent might be in Belgium.  When Frozzie comes on she may be better able to answer that.  I also cannot answer the question re. using the re-hydrated prunes as the jam substitute.  If you hang around for a wee while, or wait 24 hours, you will probably get a good few responses that may be able to help you.

Thnx for the answer on this one .. I think we call it candij sirope.. A almost black syrup we use on pancakes mainly..

Hi Stef

I tried to google the candid sirope but didn't come up with much (obviously the English google doesn't understand it lol), the one post that I did find it seems that it would be an appropriate substitute.

As for the prunes instead of the jam - I would give it a go. I make this recipe all the time and I think it would work. Let us know how you get on

I reckon prunes would work. I have a friend who makes her worcestershire sauce with plums.

Making it now.. All the house smells like viegar as we speak. I used a mix of 80 gr dried prunes and 50 water to rehydrate them and let them set for a few hours.  All water is absorbed.. And i think this is coming out great. I do not even believe anymore that the real sauce is fermented. I do believe they use soy sauce, but this recipe suits me fine because i am not allowed soy products or ferments... Yeha

Thank u girls and boys !
Love from belgium

It's sounding good with the prunes.  Let us know how it turns out.

Made it, rubbed my k roast .. It tastes great and really brings out the flavor of the pork. I may use a bit less cloves  net time but add some jamaican pepper and a few bayleaves....  BUT having said that.. I will let it rest for a few weeks to develop further and i need to try it as a rub for steak and chicken also... Must be great on roasted chicken too
