Here’s Mum’s world famous Worcestershire Sauce recipe.

Sandra Hobbs’ Worcestershire Sauce Recipe (1975)

3 large Onions chopped
1kg of Brown Sugar
2 tbsp of ground ginger
3 tbsp of salt
2 oranges (sliced roughly)
4.5 litres of white vinegar
1.5kg of roughly chopped Apples
1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
2 tbsp of cloves

Put all ingredients in a preserving pan or a very large pot. Boil slowly for 3 hours. Strain and pour in sterilized bottles .

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Never ever make Worcestershire Sauce on a cold day when you have ALL the windows in the house closed.
We discovered this the hard way a couple of years back when Mum decided to make a batch on a very, very cold June day.
It took about three days to get rid smell of white vinegar out of the house!!!!!

A nice carpet of Apricot leaves down in the River Block.
