The prices of both of these sauces is going through the roof.

There seem to be several copy-cat recipes.

Has anyone ever made the copy-cat recipes?

How did they turn out?

Stan - thank goodness ketchup is still relative bargain.

Thanks

They were never cheap. I'm not a big fan of A-1, but I buy the H57
clone. They're practically identical and are available under the
store brand labels at Kroger, Cub Foods, Walmart, and at IGA stores
under the 'Parade' brand. Costs less than half the price of H57.

I made an apple ketchup that I thought tasted a lot like Heinz 57 sauce,
D. It's from one of my *old* canning books (1940s, I think).

Now that you mention it, I wonder why A1 and Heinz 57 sauces' prices
have risen so much while the price of a bottle of tomato ketchup hasn't
gone up much at all.

The price of crude sauce (i.e., the basic ingredient that gets refined and
proprietarily additionally flavored) coming from the mideast has recently
increased.

Probably because they can. Steak sauces, whether you like them or not, are
probably thought of as a notch above ketchup by those who eat them, a more
"premium" product. Marketing knows this and pushes the limit on items like
that. Also, production is much higher for ketchup, which keeps productioin
costs at a lower level.

Restaurants and foodservice outfits get these products for dirt
cheap as advertising. Then the retail customers get to subsidize
the promotion.

Same thing with soft drinks; fast food places get them dirt cheap
yet you'll pay $1.25 for a 16oz bottle from the quickie mart.

the knock-off of h-57 by my local chain (md), giant, is pretty good as
well. well worth a try.

the copycat recipes i've seen seem to be quite an investment in
themselves, unless you already have the ingredients.

I wouldn't think that an average household would go through enough of either
to worry too much about the price.

Except I LOVE the 57 sauce and could damn near drink the stuff.

If I can save money I'm all for it.
