Add enough caramel coloring until color is dark brown.

cook's notes
I suspect the flavor will improve if aged for a few weeks before using.

reviews & comments
No wonder HP sauce was needed. There are no spices in this recipe!
One of the comments says to 'fix' add a bottle of HP sauce... IF I was going to buy HP sauce to make the recipe work...why would I not just buy the pickle ready made... and save time and money?
I forgot to a include in my previous review that during the long simmering period I kept topping up the mixture with apple cider vinegar. I probably added another cup full.
I tried making this recipe and as written the end result was not good but I did find out how to fix it and I now have an excellent replica of the famous Branston Pickle which I can really recommend. I found it was necessary to simmer the mix for four hours even then it did not taste right. Then I added a full 372ml bottle of HP sauce. Bingo! the taste was perfect. The recipe made about one liter of pickle.
