Hp Sauce

CountryLady's Note:

This is a clone for the famous English "Houses of Parliament" steak sauce & a must have recipe for all canadians living outside the country. I got it from a co-worker many years ago & haven't used the store-bought product since; however, I do keep my current supply in an old bottle for that authentic look (lol). If you prefer more of a bite, increase the tabasco!!

A very good sauce which I find is great also as a dipping sauce! Easy to make. I was liberal with the hot sauce and am glad, it's intensely hot the way I like it. I strained it using a wire mesh strainer, bottled it (in empty HP sauce bottles of course), and am keeping it in the fridge. My batch yielded about 3 cups. I'm delighted to find this recipe, thank you, country lady!

I followed this recipe exactly and it tastes nothing like HP Sauce, and that is comparing it to the actual bottle of HP Sauce. There is an overriding taste of tomatoes. Also, the recipes did not call for any dates and that is clearly in HP Sauce. I will admit it looks like HP Sauce but the taste tomatoes is too strong. My 4-year-old son said he could smell ketchup when he came in.

Just made this amazing sauce....i used my potato ricer to give the sauce a fuller texture and next time will only use half a lemon, but a good homemade replacement for HP - closer to Tiptree Sauce than HP but then I always considered Tiptree to be superior :)
