Thank you- seafood allergies make it so I can't have any store bought with anchovies.

This is very good and will be making it every time I need some Homemade Worcestershire Sauce (Without Anchovy). I really liked the apple cider. It seemed to add to the flavor a lot.
This is going to be great!! I can't eat lea and Perrins due to seafood allergies!! I am so excited to try this. I will let you know what I think.

So, I went to grab my worcestershire sauce from the fridge and ended up dropping the bottle and shattering it. W-sauce everywhere! I needed it desparately for the dinner I was cooking for TWELVE PEOPLE and no time to run to the store. Thank you CDKITCHEN for having this lifesaving (well, dinner saving) recipe to try. I think it tasted just like regular W-sauce and it saved my dinner. I'll keep this recipe handy for the next time I'm clutsy.
She did say Worcestershire not Lea Perrins :) Much better than Heinz and I have many who are vegetarian so this is great. Thank you. (I use anchovy for me).

This is a good facsimile and much less work. I agree with the previous review about the anchovies. I add about a teaspoon or so of anchovy paste with good results.
For this recipe there is one thing missing that states very plainly on the ingredients on the Lea & Perins bottle - anchovies
Sure, but does this recipe taste close enough to the real thing withOUT the anchovies? Reviewers, let us know! I'm sure there are a lot of vegetarians who would like a Worcestershire sauce alternative to the ones with anchovies!
