Servings: persons

1/2 cup tamarind paste (see Notes)
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1 thin slice fresh ginger
3 cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 whole jalapeno chiles, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

1
Put the tamarind in a medium bowl, add 2/3 cup of warm water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
2
Using your bare hands, squish the paste and water together into a liquid slurry Remove and discard all seeds and pods.
3
In a large, clean, odorless jar with a tight lid, combine the tamarind slurry with all the remaining ingredients, plus 1/4 cup of water, and stir or shake to blend.
4
Wrap the jar in brown paper or enclose in a brown paper bag and store in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks to allow the flavors to develop.
5
Shake the contents of the jar every few days.
6
After 2 weeks, strain the contents of the jar through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids to harvest as much liquid as you can.
7
Discard the solids.
8
Using a funnel, pour the Worcestershire sauce into a pour-top or shaker-top bottle.
9
Label and date the jar.
10
Note that the liquid will settle and become more cloudy on the bottom; this is just the natural characteristic of the brew.
11
The sauce will keep for 1 year covered in brown paper in a cool, dark spot in your pantry.
