If you look at the sodium amout oon the woody's jar a 2 Tbls. serving contains 490 mg sodium @ 11 servings per jar = 5390 mgs sodium per 13 oz jar. Table salt is roughly 2325 mgs per tbls. soy sauce is about 1160 mgs per tbls. The sharp bite in woody's is the sodium content so if you make 3 pints you would have to add around 18865 mgs sodium a little over 8 tbls. salt or 16 tbls soy sauce or a combination of the two since they are both listed on the label. I think the caramel color is kitchen bouquet as it list spices and sodium benzoate as a preservative hope this might help
