UPDATE on Sorcha-Bill's Mudcat Woody's: I tasted it this morning after it was in the fridge all night. It's almost dead-on identical to my bottle of real Woody's -- the tomato taste has lessened a little bit. Still needs a little salt, I think, to taste exactly the same. Color is almost identical, too. It's also thickened to just about the right consistency, thanks to the xanthan gum I added (I didn't measure, but I think I dumped in about a tablespoon - maybe more). We're just about there, folks. Maybe a couple of very minor refinements to go.
