Very good. I only used one tablespoon of oil to cook the onions and I added some red pepper flakes - because we like a little spicier, and simmered for 25 min. Also I only had Red Wine vinegar. Next time might add a bit of garlic, but overall this turned out really, really well. This sauce is the perfect consistency for me, and is wonderful just the way it is - but can well be adapted to any taste.

    Made as directed and added some fresh chopped garlic. I put it on some burgers just before taking them off the grill. Delicious sauce! Thanks for posting.

    Loved it made as directed, although after reading Chef Sandra B's review, substituting apple cider vinegar and simmering at least 1/2 hour sounds worth a try. What's so great about this recipe is that it's good as is — or as a base for whatever your tastes desire! Thanks, Pattikay! Made for Aussie New Zealand Recipe Swap #16.

    Very simple, very tasty, very fast. Can use 1 c ketchup instead of 1 c tomato sauce, although this will make it a bit sweeter. Best with apple cider vinegar and simmered for at leat 1/2 hr. Can adjust spiciness with either chili powder or hot sauce, but I thought it was perfect! I like flavor, not too spicy.
