Title: Homemade Worcestershire Sauce & Recipe for Walnut Ketchup
Categories: Condiment
Yield: 1 1.5 litres

4 Shallots
1lVinegar, good malt
90mlWalnut Ketchup *See Recipe
75mlAnchovy essence
60mlSoy sauce
2 1/2mlCayenne pepper
  Salt

Store bought Worcestershire Sauce is a little expensive if, like me, you use a lot! The following will yield 1 1/2 litres [2 1/4 British Pints] and, in my opinion, is far tastier :) The Walnut Ketchup is also a tasty little sauce in it's own right.

Worcestershire Sauce:

Combine all the above in a clean bottle. Seal it tightly. Shake several times a day for about 14 days. Strain into small bottles, leaving some room in the neck. Seal tightly. Label and store in a cool, dry place. Small bottles with plastic screw tops are ideal as the vinegar will attack metal.

Walnut Ketchup:

Walnut Ketchup is the base for many classic sauces/ketchups. To make it you need green walnuts ie: gathered before the shells harden!

400g onions, chopped. 2 litre malt vinegar. 200g salt. 25g whole peppercorns. 15g whole allspice berries. 2.5ml whole cloves. 1.25ml ground nutmeg. 10 green walnuts:

Put everything, except walnuts, into a preserving pan & bring to the boil. Pop on some gloves to prevent staining & cut and crush the walnuts. Pour the boiling liquid over the walnuts and leave for 14 days, stirring daily. Strain the liquid and simmer for 1 hour. Bottle, label and store in a cool dry place.
