- Today we will learn how to make a delicious HP Brown sauce. This British sauce is a popular condiment to have on your Bacon sandwich or with a BBQ. However you choose to eat this I know you will love this simple recipe with only a few ingredients needed. It’s easy to make and one of my favourite sauces that remind me of home. So let me know in the comments if you are team HP sauce or Ketchup on your Bacon sandwich.
Ingredients
1 small onion
2 Apples
130g Prunes
140g Brown sugar
Large pinch of salt
350g Malt vinegar
A pinch of Pepper Ginger, cayenne , nutmeg ( optional extra a small pinch of garlic, mustard powder)
A few Tips
35min-45min Cooking time until the fruit is soft in the pan.
Taste at the end of cooking and add extra seasoning accordingly.
(Depending on the size of your apples and onion you might need to add a little more water to your sauce to loosen up when you blend, if you do and then think it is too runny then just pop back on the stove to reduce down. I find each batch I make can be different so just judge by eye your sauce)
If you would like a bit more spice then just add a little more cayenne pepper.
Pour boiling water into your glass containers to sterilise them.
This sauce will last for about 2 weeks but it never lasts that long in our house

Brilliant,thanks…any idea how long it keeps..I am thinking quite a time because of vinegar ? X
Brown sauce hardly gets the credit it truly deserves. Its a great condiment.
I agree. As a kid I used to hate it but it is my sauce of choice with bacon or sausages now.
Gidday Auntie A, Australian here, l’ve made a few brown sauces using various other recipes but this one is the ticket 👍👍 thanks for sharing and god bless 🇦🇺
Hey Linconhobartmiller , Thanks for the feedback, got a few other classics in the lead up to Christmas that I hope you might also like. Have a wonderful week. Enjoy the warmer weather with you as Winter approaches here.
@@Amandafusion1great l can’t wait ❤
I’m American, born and raised, and I absolutely love HP. Especially like putting it on sausage and biscuit sandwich for breakfast. Thank you for the great recipe and video. Cheers from Tennessee!! 👍
Thanks so much, I hear Tennessee is a wonderful place. Have a blessed week and thanks for saying Hi.
Sitting here in China, I finished my last bottle of HP yesterday and have just made a batch of this however I did use Arabic dates as listed on the HP sauce bottle and it is perfection! I was going to wait until tomorrow to allow me to buy green apples and malt vinegar but that would have meant no bacon sandwich tomorrow morning so…red apples and cider vinegar. Superb result. Many thanks!
So glad to hear, When I lived inSouth Korea little things like this sauce just made all the difference and it never lasted long in our house. Hope you stick around got lots more sauces to share in the lead up to Christmas:) Have a blessed weekend in china, and thanks for saying hi:)
Hi I'm Russian, I was in England more then 10 years ago and still can't forget this taste! I will definitely try it! Thanks

Another Brit here! It was made by Huntley and Palmer! HP!
I'm making this tomorrow. Thanks 👍
Enjoy:) thanks for saying Hi, have a wonderful weekend:)
I am a British expat living in California. Your videos bring our family lots of joy. Thank you! We were a Daddy’s household growing up, brown and red. I’m a veggie but back when I ate meat… ketchup on bacon or egg sarnies but brown sauce on sausage! Also US has A1 sauce which is a bit like HP sauce.
hi there Barratt family:) god bless from Amanda
I can't wait to try this recipe! I love your channel, thank you. Team brown sauce all the way. Sending warm love from Texas. Cheers! Xx
Thanks so much, I am brown sauce too whoop whoop !
I can't wait to make this! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and saying hi, will you e having this with bacon or sausages?
@@Amandafusion1 I don't eat meat, so I'll be using it in creating some new recipes.
We don't buy brown sauce anymore. This recipe is superb. Thanks from Ireland
My mum is from Ireland but I have never been there yet. Glad to hear you like the recipe, it's a favourite in our house. Thanks for saying Hi and May I wish you a Happy New Year ahead of time. Amanda
Made this today..and enjoying it very much ..thanks for the post
Thanks for the update and I am so glad you are enjoying it hopefully with a bacon sandwich 😜. Have a great rest of the week. Amanda
I will try this today. Thank you
Cool. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.
I have never had HP sauce, though I read that A1 is a passable substitute where brown sauce is called for. I need to find out for myself and this recipe looks absolutely delicious. THANK YOU for distilling the instructions down to a 3 1/2 minute video. I can hardly wait to try it.
Thank you for watching:)
Very delicious food
Aloha! I will be giving this a try. 😀 Thank you for sharing the recipe. 🤙
Hi there Inytita, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Thanks for watching, Have a great week.
In Canada our HP sauce has dates and white vinegar , I bought the one from UK and I liked ours better I couldn’t figure out what was different but reading ingredient list on bottle the big difference was the malt vinegar , I will make this I will use regular white vinegar , thanks so much I didn’t know it was so easy to make
Cool, thanks for watching:) Have a great week:)
HP on bacon or sausage butties, and absolutely essential on corned beef hash!
Corned Beef hash...Gosh have not had this in a while...you have me thinking when is my next trip back to the UK?
It looks so good as having just right after boiling itself before blending. The apple gets special taste, I think. I wonder which flavour it is.
New here and looking forward to making this for my English husband and I definitely have to put it on my channel. I hope I can find all the ingredients
Hi there, welcome, He will love this and for you it should be easy as you love gardening so maybe you already have the vegetables. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful week.
@@Amandafusion1 Thanks! I sure hope so!
I have some of this sitting on my kitchen table
I guess you will be having a bacon sandwich in the morning! ENJOY😋
@@Amandafusion1 sounds like a plan
This is getting made,expat Sth Londoner following from Edmonton Canada ;0)
Cool, thanks for watching have a great Easter:)
@@Amandafusion1 you too
Great video!! I'm allergic to dates, prunes and plums, is there something else that I could replace it with? Maybe sundried tomatoes? I'm looking up recipes because it's almost impossible to find brown sauce without dates. Great to have the rest of the ingredients and the process 👍
I use the prunes for sweetness and they also add to the texture and colour, Can you eat dried apricots?Let me know what you do so I can try your recipe please.❤️ I love learning from other people too.
@Amandafusion1 No I can't eat any stone fruit unfortunately. I'll let you know what I try 🙂
Hi Auntie A. I love this recipe. Mad a couple of batches of this and have enough bottles to last a few months.
Quick question (but maybe not an easy one to answer):HP also do a HP Fruit Sauce and been searching everywhere for a simple recipe for that. There are a couple which seem very complicated. Have you ever attempted to make the fruit sauce? I am guessing your recipe could be slightly tweaked to make it more like the Fruit Sauce.
Love your videos. Also enjoyed the pickle one too :-) Greetings from the UK.
Hi Justinallen, I have not tried that but let me see what I can do, I am out of sauce and BBQ season is around the corner. Thanks for watching and saying Hi, appreciate the support, Greetings back at you from across the sea and a little further 😜Germany.
Ma'am kindly share the receipe of hollandaise sauce, peri peri sauce.tks alot
Will try and do this for you. Thanks for watching. Amanda
Bacon sandwiches with butter and brown sauce is the perfect drunk food after an evening of boozing!
Bacon sandwiches any time ? ha ha
Hi!
I wanted to make some brown sauce as I cannot find it anywhere near me but i have a problem I also cannot find Malt vinegar.
Can I substitute it with apple cider vinegar? Or would it ruin the flavor?
Thank you in advance!
Apple cider vinegar will also work but just hold back a little on the sugar ( maybe 1tbsp) , as apple cider vinegar is sweet , you can always add a little extra sugar later if needed. Enjoy . have a great weekend.
I have just made this sauce and it is delicious but it is not exactly like the original as a certain spice may be missing. Of course, I really like it but I am just curious as to what the spice could be as it makes the original HP sauce quite hot, a bit like chili. What do you think?
Hey there, thanks for getting back. Maybe some chilli , I am about to make some more so will have a try too. Have a great weekend.
Suggest add some tamarind paste and Worcestershire sauce before cooking down for the sour umami.
@@arendm9349 I will try this thanks :)
Hi there, what can I use instead of barley malt vinegar as it's hard to find this? Greetings from Poland
hi there, thank you for watching. I would use apple cider vinegar and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Have a wonderful week and please let me know how it turns out. God Bless
Tyfs. I’m trying to find a recipe with low carbs
Thanks for watching..I have a few recipes with low carbs on the channel if that helps. Have a great week and New year.
I love HP on grilled cheese, bubble and squeak, in beef stews, in some asian dishes, pork chops and sauerkraut casserole scotch eggs, (NEVER on bacon sandwiches!!!!!! :))) )
I used to be the same but now love it with bacon. Thanks for saying Hi, now I want a grilled cheese sandwich:) Have a wonderful week.
This would be perfect for a US Southern-style sausage biscuit. (:
You bring the Sothern-style sausage Biscuit ( that sounds amazing) I will bring the sauce:) 😜
do you have to let it " mature " before using ??
You can leave it a while but when I make it in my house we usually eat it up within the first week. I just make sure to let it cool so usually wait 24 hours before starting to use it.I hope this helps:) Have a great sunday.
@@Amandafusion1 thanks for the info
Do you deliver to California? 😊
Ha ha , You got this:) or plan B ask a friend to make it for you , or plan C order online. or plan D Wait until you next visit the UK 😜. Thanks for saying Hi and watching, have a great weekend.
A meaty winter stew, or mince and taters definitely better with brown sauce. Bangers and mash. Bacon sarnie!
I agree with you:) Thanks for watching, have a wonderful week:)
Is this good on steaks, I wonder?
yes, really delicious , I sometimes will also use it to marinate some meat:)
Square Sausage in the fridge over night .
Now to make your awesome HP
Sounds amazing. I hope the feast was great. Thanks for watching:)
I use HP sauce on chicken schnitzel.
Oh nice combination:)
Red on the Bacon
I agree with you but the older I get I think my taste is changing and I really love the flavour of this sauce:)
Where's the tamarind......looks like a nice sauce but.....
Tamarind has a sweet and tart flavour so I use the sugar combined with the apples and vinegar to get close to the same flavour profile. Tamarind is not easy for everyone to get so I did not use:)
I've followed this recipe exactly how you've laid it out and have to say, this tastes nothing like HP. Honestly, I think you should remove HP from the title and just call it a brown sauce.
Very disappointed to be honest.
I am so sorry to hear this for you and I appreciate your feedback. I have only ever had positive feedback with this sauce so far. Without trying your sauce its difficult but thank you. Have a great week.
@@Amandafusion1 Stop it! Please, stop it.
Your tag says, HP sauce. It's nothing like it. ZERO, NADA. Abso-fucking-lutely, nothing like HP.
Your Title Says HP sauce! This is an absolute misrepresentation of the genuine sauce.
This time, I will give you a warning. You either remove HP from your title and commentary, or I will report you to TH-cam.
If you are a genuine Brit then you wouldn't try to pass this sh1t off as HP.
Change it or I promise you, your channel will be BANNED!
Hp sauce tastes like a$$
I totally agree with you especially on bacon sandwiches:) . Thanks for watching, have a wonderful week.
@@Amandafusion1 thanks for replying 😙 make more videos 👍 keep up the good work .. 🌹
Does that mean “ass” or “a winner”?
