Gravy Browning

[Maggy J]

Now all of you know I advocate real cooking.This means I make my own gravy with the meat juices,flour and gravy browning.

Now I can quite happily do without the browning but my husband won't eat a roast dinner unless the gravy is BROWN.My problem is that I cannot actually BUY any gravy browning anywhere because all you lazy people seem to use ready made gravy and the supermarkets don't appear to stock it anymore "as there is no call for it".

So does anyone know where I can still buy this product? Can I buy it online anywhere?Or has anyone else come up with a suitable alternative?Worcestshire Sauce is no good as it just adds flavour and Soya sauce just makes it saltier.I even tried mushroom essence but that has little effect.

To think the product that supplied all the young women during the WW11 with make do stockings has vanished from history is a real shame!


Incog hoping for some answers.

Is that how you make thick brown gravy, never knew that.

I thicken mine with flour and cornflower. Can you use Stock cubes for colour?

My mom still uses that type of gravy you talk about, using the juices etc but I don't have a clue where she gets it all from

We use bisto to make the gravy brown and thicken it......

I must admit I use a teaspoon of marmite (vegy friendly)

It's usually enough to darken the gravy

Stupid question - and I did look at the site - is it ok for vegetarians? A Marmite disliking vegetarian at that!

afaik it's just caramel & salt, so should be fine for vegetarians.
