Homemade J Dawgs Sauce

From: The Sisters Cafe

3/4 cup ketchup 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon cider vinegar 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon onion powder Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from heat, cool, and serve on grilled hot dogs. Make sure to buy good quality buns – none of this wonder bread stuff. And absolutely don’t forget to make criss cross X’s all down the dog before grilling to make sure you have plenty of surface area for the sauce! Serve with toppings: Pickles, onions, jalapeños, banana peppers, sauerkraut, yellow mustard. (The restaurant also offers ketchup, celery salt, mayo, relish, and spicy brown mustard at special request

Lisa Stephenson

Ingredients: 1 cup (200 g) sugar 1 cup (250 mL) water 4 cups (1 12-oz package) fresh or frozen cranberries Optional: Pecans, orange zest, raisins, currants, blueberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice. (We added pecans, orange zest, and 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg.) Directions: Wash and pick over cranberries. In a saucepan bring to a boil water and sugar, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add cranberries, return to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries burst. At this point you can add all number of optional ingredients. We typically mix in a half a cup of roughly chopped pecans with or without a few strips of orange zest. You can add a cup of raisins or currants. You can add up to a pint of fresh or frozen blueberries for added sweetness. Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice can be added too. Remove from heat. Cool completely at room temperature and then chill in refrigerator. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools. Number Of Servings:Makes 2 1/4 cups
