After reading the ingredients of HP sauce I added 1 cup pitted dates and 1 Tblspoon Tamarind puree. I also added half as much again of worcestershire sauce. A nice sauce. my result was lighter in colour and less like the original than expected, and the taste of allspice was dominant. Perhaps I should have cooked it longer? Next time I intend to use malt vinegar, probably more of it, even more worcestershire sauce and some ginger, nutmeg and cayenne. Will let you know how it goes!

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.

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!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
