Homemade Worcestershire Sauce

This is an old English recipe that comes very close to the store-bought Lea & Perrins brand out there. I am so pleased with this recipe and how it turned out.

Notes

  • The biggest mention I will make regarding this recipe is that it WILL stink up your home for the entire 3 hours it is cooking. It is very potent stuff. You do become (sort of) nose blind to it about halfway through the cooking process. 
  • This recipe does make a very large batch of Worcestershire sauce, just shy of 3 liters. You can half it to make less.
  • This recipe stores indefinitely in the fridge.
