| Long ago, when going to an A&W meant car service, the hot dogs were served with what they called a red sauce. It was nothing like any catsup that comes out of a bottle, but had visible seeds (like celery seed) in it. I've tried to duplicate, but have wasted too many good tomatoes. Might anyone have a recipe? |

| Yeah Taste of Home published it several years back. See link below. Not not for canning, fresh use only although you could freeze it. Dave |
Here is a link that might be useful: A&W Red Sauce recipe

| The sauce that I had contained no meat. I suppose that if you left the ground beef out, you could can it safely--especially if you pressure can it. |

| Ok if you don't want the A&W Coney Dog Red Sauce then: A&W HOT DOG SAUCE 1 can (32 oz) tomato paste Place all the listed ingredients in a blender and then cook on very low heat for at least 3 hours. If you Google 'A&W Red Sauce' you'll find all sorts of links to the above recipe from several different sources. As for canning it, it is probably ok but it has never been tested so is a do-at-your-own-risk thing. Dave |

| I don't remember eating that red sauce. I guess my experience with A&W eons ago was limited to the root beer floats. But I did find several interviews online with the granddaughter and the son of the original inventor of the sauce. She said her grandmother created the recipe because her grandfather didn't like the taste of commercial ketchup. The family recipe still sold in Michigan supposedly has no sugar (though it may have some alternate sweetener). Also in several interviews she said there was "no vinegar" and in another interview she said it had "little vinegar" because her grandfather didn't like the taste of vinegar either (picky gentleman). Of course, again that doesn't preclude something like lemon juice. Carol |

| Thanks, Dave and Carol, for the responses. I guess I've got some more experimenting to do. |
