Notes
- Caution
- Always cook this recipe in a well-ventilated area. The smell can be overwhelming.
- Stirring is very important to prevent the sugar from scorching or burning.
- NEVER substitute another vinegar for apple cider vinegar.
- Don't spend a lot of money on ketchup, the cheaper the better.
- To add heat add 1-1 1/2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes.
- The sauce can be bottled for longer life but must be processed in a canner, which gives it an indefinite shelf life. However, when opened, the sauce must be refrigerated.
