How to Make H P Steak Sauce

  1. In a large pot, combine 2 cups water, 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup tomato paste, 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate, 1 cup pitted dates (roughly chopped), 1/2 cup molasses, 1 cup apple juice, and 1/2 cup tamarind pulp.
  2. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While the mixture simmers, prepare the spice blend: In a spice grinder, combine 2 tablespoons onion powder, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon cardamom, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Grind until finely powdered.
  6. Once the mixture has simmered, use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth, eliminating any lumps.
  7. Add the ground spice mixture to the pot. Stir well to incorporate and simmer for another 30-45 minutes, ensuring the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup cider vinegar. Return to a simmer.
  9. Once simmering, remove the pot from the heat. Strain the hot mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot. Discard the solids.
  10. Rinse the original pot and return the strained sauce to it. Return to low heat and simmer until the sauce reaches your desired thickness (about 15-20 minutes).
  11. Ladle the hot sauce into sterilized, sealable bottles. Seal tightly.
  12. Allow the sauce to cool completely.
  13. Store in a cool, dark cupboard indefinitely. Refrigerate after opening.
