Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups distilled white vinegar (I like to use at least 1/2 cup cider vinegar); 1/2 cup molasses; 1/2 cup soy sauce; 1/4 cup tamarind paste; 3 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds; 3 tablespoons kosher salt; 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn; 1 teaspoon whole cloves; 1/2 teaspoon curry powder; 5 cardamom pods, smashed; 4 chiles de arbol, chopped (I have always left these out); 2 garlic cloves, smashed; 1 inch cinnamon stick; 1 anchovy, chopped; 1 yellow onion, chopped; 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and smashed; 1/2 cup sugar (I have used demerara sugar with great results)

Servings: persons

2 cups distilled white vinegar (I like to use at least 1/2 cup cider vinegar)
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup tamarind paste
3 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
5 cardamom pods, smashed
4 chiles de arbol, chopped (I have always left these out)
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 inch cinnamon stick
1 anchovy, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and smashed
1/2 cup sugar (I have used demerara sugar with great results)

1
Combine all ingredients except the sugar in a 2-qt. saucepan; boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, cook sugar in a skillet over medium-high heat until it becomes dark amber and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add caramelized sugar to vinegar mixture and whisk to combine; cook sauce for 5 minutes; transfer sauce to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
3
Refrigerate, covered, for 3 weeks; strain to remove solids; return to jar. Refrigerate for up to 8 months.
4
*Note* I have used this before the suggested 3 weeks with good results, though the flavor really seems to improve with time. I usually just pour the amount I need through a strainer so that I can leave all the spices in to continue adding flavor.
