I wonder that some enterprising Brit has not reverse engineered the
original HP sauce and begun marketing it under a name/label just 
different enough to make infringement lawsuits unsuccessful.

      Title: Homemade HP Sauce
 Categories: Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies
      Yield: 1 recipe

      5 c  Plums; pitted, diced
      5 c  Apples; peeled, diced
    1/2 c  Water
      1 lg Onion; peeled, diced
      2 cl Garlic; peeled, crushed
      1 ts Grated fresh ginger
      1 tb Tamarind paste
      1 tb Tomato paste
      1 tb All spice
      1 tb Nutmeg
      1 tb Peri-peri powder or cayenne
      1 tb Salt
      2 tb Worcester sauce
      1 tb Tabasco
      1 tb Dark treacle
    375 ml Apple cider vinegar
    375 ml Brown sugar
 
  In a large saucepan put the plums, apples, water, onion
  and the ginger.

  Bring to a boil and then simmer gently for 30 minutes.
 
  Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for another
  hour or until it has reduced and you get a nice thick
  consistency.

  Allow to cool and then blend in a blender or use a stick
  blender. Pass through a fine sieve.

  Using a funnel pour into sterile glass jars/bottles (to
  sterilize, rinse in hot water and pop straight into the
  microwave for 1 minute on high)

  Leave in a dark place for at least 6 weeks, the flavour
  develops the longer you leave it and the colour darkens
  accordingly.
