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

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
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.
