I think I can remember the first time I had a barbecue that used this glaze. It must have been in the early 1990s in Scotland when we visited friends Alisha and Tim for a barbecue in their clifftop garden in Whinnyfold, Aberdeenshire. Tim had mown the grass, and showed me how to play a Chris Isaak song on the guitar. Alisha had gone large on her copy of Delia Smith’s Summer Collection and made the potato recipe on this site, a tomato, red onion and lime salsa, and the glaze shown here. Ever since that day, this simple, spicy recipe has been our go-to condiment to slather over red and white meats destined for the barbecue.
Caution: it uses a lot of Worcestershire sauce.
