New York Hot Dog Onion Sauce

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon canola oil

4 cups thinly sliced onion

3 teaspoons minced fresh garlic

1 tablespoon flour

8 ounces red tomato sauce, smooth not chunky

8 ounces water

2 tablespoons corn syrup

3 teaspoons vinegar

2 bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 dash ground cloves

Cooking Instructions:

Saute the onions and the garlic in oil, simmering, about 15 to 20 minutes, until tender, not brown. Add the flour and stir and cook at least one minute. Add remaining ingredients, cover and simmer 50 minutes. If its getting too thick, add a touch more water. Remove bay leafs. Serve on those next bbq hot dogs, with another slather of mustard on top. Yesterday I did make another batch with the cloves added , and I really enjoyed it, so give the cloves a chance if you are not a clove user, it brings out all the flavours of the onions and sweetness and tartness.
