This recipe is from Olive Scott.
It was given to me by Jannette Langely when bringing her granddaughter to a Jacican kid's cooking class.
I have changed it from imperial and metric and use whole spices, crushed where I can.
This recipe is a vegetarian version of a Worcestershire sauce (but we can’t call it Worcestershire because we don’t live in Worcester).
