Answer 2

This one uses stevia for sweetener but you could use white sugar to taste instead. In a saucepan, put 1 cup white vinegar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons whole cloves, 1 teaspoon celery seed. Bring to boil, cover, turn off heat and let stand.

In another pot simmer until reduced by half (about an hour): 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 15-oz cans tomato sauce, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne.

Strain vinegar into sauce, add 2 teaspoons salt, stevia to taste and simmer 30 minutes or until desired consistency. Makes 1 1/2 pints, freeze what you will not use within 2 weeks.
