The bacon sandwich

Place the rolls in a warm oven until the outside is a little crispy, but the inside is deliciously soft and warm.

Meanwhile, grill the bacon on a grill pan. Personally, I like it cooked medium - not crispy but not floppy.

Fry the two eggs in the pan and once they are on a roll, add a generous amount of the English brown sauce, aka HP sauce. This is the old-school way; the new-school way is same bacon and egg but between grilled pieces of corn bread with sriracha chilli sauce.

Brown sauce

Place the apple, prunes and onions into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for a good hour or until all the ingredients are cooked.

Pass through a sieve and discard liquid, then blend contents of sieve until smooth.

Add all the other ingredients then add back to the same pan and, over a low to medium heat, cook out until the consistency of ... well, HP sauce; bottle it in sterilised jars and enjoy.
