I was given this recipe on Radio Live last weekend and thought it sounded great - anyone make this already?
I plan to make it on Friday.

Garlic Sauce

2kg granny smith apples
1 kg brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1kg treacle
1 gallon vinegar
1 kg onions, chopped
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons chilli powder
500g garlic, chopped

Place all ingredients into a large saucepan and boil for 2 hours.
Bottle and seal.

I think this is a recipe I used to make some years ago. It came from one of those small local recipe books. There was a reference to the West Coast in the title. It is very yummy and well worth making.

Great way to use up tomatoes (and darn handy)

It sounds powerful! 2 tablespoons of ground cloves? I look forward to a review when you've made it, Helen. Although it's probably one of those recipes which should be 'cellared' for months before tasting.

Yes I did think the cloves sounded way too much and already had planned to reduce it. I couldn't cope with that intensity of clove flavour.

I do have a question though, How much is a gallon in litres?

1 US gallon is 3.785 litres. 1 UK gallon is 4.546 litres.

Relative to the rest of the ingredients, I suppose the 1kg of brown sugar and 1kg of treacle is comparative(?) but added to the fructose in the apples, that's still a lot of sugar. But then again, we have sweet chilli sauce and tomato sauce and....hoisin sauce, all based on lots of sugar.

It is called Garlic Sauce but no garlic in it. What would you use it for?
