Worcestershire Sauce

[fundj&e]

I  only use Worcestershire sauce for the Dianne sauce, one bottle would last us a few years. will try it on eggs next time

Just for informations sake, with the apricot jam was hugely successful, tastes delicious just not enough chilli..!!

[droverjess]

Batch on now.
Had to grind cloves first, bit gritty wondering whether will have to strain before bottling?

Will see how goes and report  

Made 6 x 100 ml bottles and a taster for DH when back.
I use it in cooking but too hot for me on own.

Who said it clears the sinuses while cooking - they're spot on

Forgive me for a silly question but what is the"half position" for the Measuring Cup that this recipe mentions?

[judydawn]

Sort of at an angle in the hole lozzy but you can also put the steaming basket over the hole instead.  I'll take a photo of the MC in half position and get back to you with it.

[lozzylooloo]

That'd be lovely if you get a chance, thanks Judy (last time I had steamer basket over hole for something it made big ness on bottom of basket - the MC is easier to clean

[lozzylooloo]

Ah perfect I get it - thank you!!

Now, another question....
A previous poster mentioned having to grind his own cloves but ending up with slightly gritty sauce. Anyone else able to comment in this? I only have whole cloves...?

Thank you all so much

[Kimmyh]

I used whole cloves and ground them and the sauce isn't gritty.

[lozzylooloo]

Brilliant thank you kimmy

Was planning to set this going tonight but speed 10 a bit loud when kids sleeping, so hoping to get it going tomorrow and didn't want to have to hit shops again first!

[judydawn]

You could always strain the sauce before bottling it (if you have ground your own cloves) to make sure it isn't gritty.

[droverjess]

Did strain through fine sieve before bottling.

[curly66]

oh no, I made 2 full batches for xmas gifts and used whole cloves... I don't know anything about cloves because I don't like them but decided to use some..  I've bottled it already!!  will it be gritty?

[Frozzie]

I strained the sauce as i only had whole cloves that i ground a bit in a m&p but found the result much sweeter than the bought version.. Anybody else?? And not the same bite?? I will have to research it a bit..

[alfacchino]

I just made this and used blackstrap molasses instead of treacle and 5 g cayenne pepper in place of the chilli and it tastes spot on to me and plenty of kick

we  finally used up the store  bought one  now just need to make the plum jam if i can find plums.
