Well after i figured out tht you simmer it uncovered it was all uphill from there. It was awesome with the sharp yellow mustard and a good kosher beef hotdog! This is a keeper for sure. This sauce was on my short list of what I missed after I moved from New York.

    Hot dogs are totally boring without this glistening sauce. Last night was my third time making it. Waiting around for the liquids to reduce is the only drawback. To save some time, I only used enough water so the onions were well-covered. I couldn't notice any difference. Conversion notes: 2 T tomato paste = 2 T ketchup 2 tsp corn syrup = 2.5 tsp gran. sugar 1 tsp cornstarch = 2 tsp flour

    this was much better used the next day. the first day the vinegar seemed a bit too strong for me. It was very good though and for a new yorker like me the only way to eat a hot dog! I will make this again.
