​WHISKY DIPPING SAUCE RECIPE

This is a bit like a cheat's tomato chutney with a spicy, whisky flavour. Delicious with our Haggis Pakoras.

Ingredients:

230ml ketchup
220g brown sugar
30ml Whisky
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp of any of our spice blends (Korma, Bhuna, Goan or Tandoori Masala)

Method:

• In a heavy bottom sauce pot, combine ketchup and brown sugar. Over low heat whisk ketchup and brown sugar to make a smooth sauce.
• Add the whisky, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice to the pan and whisk into the sauce.
• Slowly warm the sauce over low heat, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes.
