Description

Sauce Recipes by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, public domain government resource—original source of recipe

Ingredients

• 1 quart tomato juice
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp dry mustard
• 1 Tbsp celery salt
• 1 Tbsp red pepper
• 1 Tbsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp paprika
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• ½ tsp allspice
• 1 Tbsp grated onion
• 1½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup vinegar

Directions

1. Mix brown sugar, mustard, salt, red pepper, black pepper, paprika, cornstarch and allspice in a heavy saucepan.
2. Combine tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar. Add a small amount to the dry ingredients to form a paste to prevent lumping before adding the balance of these liquids. Add grated onion.
3. Cook on very low heat, usually 2 hours until thickened. In the beginning, stir frequently (the cornstarch has to be addressed properly while mixture is still cold).
