Camp Vinegar

Sauces and Spicery

Vinegar, strongly flavoured with, for instance, garlic, cayenne, soy and walnut ketchup. Known at least since 1789, but why the name 'camp' is unknown.


'To the Curious in Vinegar'
Sherborne Mercury - Monday 20 July 1789



Original Receipt in 'A New System Of Domestic Cookery' by 'A Lady' (Mrs. Maria Eliza Ketelby Rundell) (Rundell 1807);

CAMP KETCHUP - E. R.
Take two quarts of old strong beer, and one of white wine, add a quarter of a pound of anchovies, three ounces of shalots peeled, half an ounce of mace, the same of nutmeg, three large races of ginger cut in slices; put all together over a moderate fire till one third is wasted. The next day bottle it with the spice and the shalots. It will keep for many years.
