LEAMINGTON SAUCE (an Excellent Sauce for Flavouring Gravies, Hashes, Soups, &c.) ((Author's Recipe.))
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- Walnuts
- To each quart of walnut-juice
- 3 quart vinegar
- 1 pint Indian soy
- 1 oz cayenne
- 2 oz shalots
- 3/4 oz garlic
- 1/2 pint port wine
Instructions
- Be very particular in choosing the walnuts as soon as they appear in the market; for they are more easily bruised before they become hard and shelled.
- Pound them in a mortar to a pulp, strew some salt over them, and let them remain thus for two or three days, occasionally stirring and moving them about.
- Press out the juice, and to _each quart_ of walnut-liquor allow the above proportion of vinegar, soy, cayenne, shalots, garlic, and port wine.
- Pound each ingredient separately in a mortar, then mix them well together, and store away for use in small bottles.
- The corks should be well sealed.
