In Response To: ISO CONEY ISLAND HOT DOG SAUCE (Kelly)

This is the old A&W recipe. If you have received others that contain bologna, that is NOT the original. This is in large quantities like they made at the drive-ins.

A & W Coney Island Sauce

2 small onions, finely chopped 5 lbs. hamburger 64 ounces Hunt's tomato Paste 64 ounces Hunt's Tomato Puree 1 1/2 c. sugar 1/3 c. cider vinegar 2 T. chili powder 1 T. pepper 1 T. celery seed 3 T. plus 1 t. salt

Brown hamburger and onions in a very large skillet, drain. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 3 1/2 hours. Stir frequently as it will tend to stick. This freezes very well. To get that authenic taste, use only Kogel franks and rehydrate dry minced onions in boiling water.
