I am Oscar (of the Waldorf Astoria) Tschirky’s great granddaughter…the recipe for “Oscar’s Sauce” that I have is very different from the one you have a copy of. Also, please note, that he was the Maitre d”hotel NOT (and never was) a chef. Would be happy to share, if anyone is interested.
I would love to have the original recipe. A version of this sauce was made by an elderly friend and I want to recreate it for her.
I would also love to have a copy of the recipe that you have.
I apologize profusely to the people who responded and requested the original recipe for “Oscar’s Sauce” !!! I am not a “blogger” and only answer emails directed to me…never saw these requests until they were called to my attention. Please forgive me.
The recipe that I have from Oscar, my greatgrandfather, is as follows:
OSCAR’S SAUCE
2.5 lbs. green peppers (seeds and membranes removed before weighing)
2 lbs. white onions (peeled before weighing)
10.5 oz. Tarragon Vinegar
.25 oz. Dry Mustard
1 gal. (#10 can) Beechnut Ketsup
30 grains White Pepper
.5 oz. Salt
Chop peppers and onions fine…strain both until nearly dry.
Place in a Stone Jar…add Ketsup and Vinegar…mix Dry Mustard with a bit of Vinegar, add to contents of Stone Jar.
Please note: quite frankly, I find this recipe rather vague…in addition, good luck counting the grains of White Pepper!!!

My mother and grandmother used to can great batches of Oscar Sauce back in the 1960’s and we’d have it all year long. I just thought about it this morning and wondered if I could find the recipe on the Web, but this one isn’t like the one we had. I would love to have the original one as I think it’s probably closer to what mom and grandma made. Thank you so much.
I would love to have the original Oscar Sauce recipe, also.
How is used in recipes? Or, on what type of food do you serve it?
I appreciate a copy of the recipe also. Thanks
I know this is a old post, but this sauce seems to be like the one I remember my grandmother putting-up every summer. For some reason she and the family referred to it as “Chili Sauce.” I would also love to see Mrs. Currie’s original for this sauce.
I would also like a copy of this recipe. Never heard of it before. Always eager to try new recipes. Thank you and your family.
Hi did Florence share the recipe?
