The composition of this sauce is a trade secret, but a variety of similar sauces are found on the market. A good imitation may be made as follows:
Chop the green outer covering of unripe walnuts 5 pounds, bruise them to a pulp in a mortar, pour upon them 6 pints of good strong vinegar, and after standing a day heat to boiling and strain with strong pressure. To the liquid thus obtained add garlic, grated to a pulp, 2 ounces; capsicum, in fine powder, 2 ounces; black pepper, 1 ounce; cinnamon, 1 1/2 ounces; nutmeg, 1/2 ounce; allspice, 1 ounce; cloves, 1/2 ounce, all in fine powder; salt, 12 ounces; brown sugar, 8 ounces, and enough good vinegar to make 1 gallon of the finished product. This is to stand for some time, with frequent agitation, and then be put up in bottles.
Butter Color.
Annatto, fresh and of good quality, 2 pounds; salad oil of good quality without flavor (purified cotton-seed oil is best), sufficient to make 1 gallon. Rub the annatto with a portion, about one-third, of the oil and macerate it by the heat of a water-bath for 12 hours, stirring occasionally, pour off the liquid and add to the residue another portion, about one-third of the oil, and macerate as before, adding the product of the portion before reserved, then add the remainder of the oil to the sediment, macerate as before and add the product to the reserved portions to make 1 gallon of butter color.—Fenner’s Formulary.
