In the late 1800's Henry
John Heinz established the slogan "57 Varieties," (which you
can still find printed on Heinz products) even though the company now
boasts over 5700 varieties in 200 countries. Today Heinz is the world's
largest tomato producer, but interestingly the first product for the
company that was launched in 1869 had nothing to do with tomatoes; it
was grated horseradish. It wasn't until 1876 that ketchup was added to
the growing company's product line.
Tomato is also an important ingredient in this
tangy steak sauce. But you'll find some interesting ingredients in there
as well, such as raisin puree, malt vinegar, apple juice concentrate and
mustard. And don't worry if your version doesn't come out as brown as
the original. Heinz uses a little caramel coloring in its product to
give it that distinctive tint. It's just for looks though, so I've left
that ingredient out of this clone recipe. Besides, I've found that the
turmeric and yellow mustard will help get this version close to the
color of the real deal, if not right on.
Raisin Puree
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup water
1 1/3 cup white vinegar
1 cup tomato paste
2/3 cup malt vinegar
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon yellow prepared mustard
2 teaspoons apple juice concentrate
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1. Make the raisin puree by combining the raisins with the water in a food
processor or blender. Blend on high speed for 1 minute or until
the puree is smooth. Measure 1/4 cup of this puree into a medium saucepan.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.
3.
Turn heat up to medium/high and bring mixture to a thorough boil. Reduce heat
to low and
simmer, uncovered, for 1/2 hour or until thick. Let sauce cool and then refrigerate it in a
covered container for at least 24 hours. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
