My version
  • 4 cups plain white bread crumbs
  • 40 oz cider vinegar
  • 4 tbs cinnamon
  • 2 tbs Lumbard powder:
    • --3 parts nutmeg
    • --2 part cloves
    • --1 part Grains of Paradise
    • --1 part pepper
  • 2 tsp Mustard powder
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp saffron threads crushed to 1/8

Mix everything and boil it 10 minutes, stirring continuously.
Put it in bowls and serve it up with chicken

Notes Generally well recieved. This is a very sharply pungent sauce. The vinegar is very aggressive, especially when it is still hot.
