Description:
Well, not really all-purpose, but it can be a cold dip (for prawns and such) or a hot dip (for croutons or breadsticks) or a marinade or a barbecue glaze or a pasta sauce. I don't recommend it as petrol additive, or photographic developer, but you never know. If it's going to be a hot dip, you might reduce the proportion of oil. For a cold dip, you might want to use use olive oil instead of sunflower.
Ingredients:
Absolute quantities vary depending on what you're using it for and how many you're feeding, but they should be in these approximate proportions, by volume:
Sunflower oil: 10 parts
Honey: 5 parts
Tomato puree (the stuff in tubes is OK): 3 parts
Dark soy sauce: 1 part
Lemon juice: 1 part
Marjoram (fresh, finely chopped, but you can get away with dried) : 1 part
Crushed garlic: 1 part (less if you're a vampire)
Grated orange peel: 1 part
Cracked black pepper: 1 part (less if it's going to be a dip)
Directions:
Tip it all into a screw-topped jar and shake like whoever was in that film.
Sadly for Australians, Australian honey tends to make it taste odd because of the oil content. Blame your bees for snacking on eucalyptus pollen. Try acacia. Brits can use heather honey. I get my honey from Trevarno in Cornwall; lots of rhododendrons.
