  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings (about 1.5 cups)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon molasses
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Spices: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, and black pepper thoroughly to create a well-blended spice mixture.
  2. Add Liquids: Pour in the apple cider vinegar, water, soy sauce, and molasses into the spice mixture, ensuring all ingredients are included for the signature Worcestershire flavor.
  3. Whisk Until Smooth: Whisk the entire mixture vigorously to dissolve the sugars and evenly distribute the spices, resulting in a smooth and uniform sauce.
  4. Transfer to Jar: Using a funnel, carefully pour the sauce into a clean jar or bottle, making sure to avoid spills and keeping the container sanitary.
  5. Shake Before Use: Before each use, shake the jar well to recombine any settling ingredients and maintain consistent flavor and texture.
  6. Store Properly: Keep the Worcestershire sauce refrigerated for up to two months to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage.

Notes

  • Shake well before each use as ingredients may settle.
  • Store the sauce in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator.
  • Use within two months for best flavor and safety.
  • Can be used as a marinade base, in dressings, or to enhance meats and stews.
  • Adjust sweetness or tanginess by varying the molasses or vinegar amounts if desired.
