What the experts say: Vinegar has an indefinite shelf life at room temperature, and can therefore be safely kept in a cupboard for years. Dr Schenker says: 'The high acidity of vinegar means that any contaminant such as bacteria or mould getting into the bottle wouldn't stand a chance of living.'

In this recipe they are minced and add body giving the brown sauce a great sauce texture.

HP Brown Sauce does contain gluten, however the Tesco and Asda's 'cheap' brown sauces are completely safe. Brown Sauce. Huh? It’s ubiquitous here in the UK, often forgotten about until that crucial moment you automatically reach for it and find it’s not there. Panic ensues while you search the kitchen cupboard. Or there’s the slightly embarrassing feeling if you need to ask for it when eating out, so revealing your humble origins. It’s blessed with a dull name too. Brown sounds so, ah, brown. Apple has a tart sweetness. I have used granny smith in this recipe as these are good for cooking and still have a sour edge that works great in this brown sauce.A brown sauce called OK still exists too. It was from George Mason in London before Colman’s bought it. Mason’s Art Deco factory in Wandsworth now lies empty, and OK is from Norwich. This sauce’s biggest market these days is the Far East, or at your local Chinese takeaway. Gill, Joe (21 February 2006). "Heinz to change baked beans recipe as it faces Branston challenge".

Nutmeg, allspice and ginger are all in my recipe although I expect some recipes go further than this. These three spices in this brown sauce recipe add lots of flavour without becoming overpowering. Then you've got mustard - most English mustard contains wheat flour, but did you know a handful of brands are actually gluten free?
