Hi Everyone. Had lunch with my cousin, Barb. last week before she went to Florida for the winter and she said she wished she had the Red Sauce recipe her mother made (my aunt from Lewiston, near Niagara Falls.) Would you believe, I found it in the boxes I am going through and in her own hand writing. Made a copy of the recipes and gave her the original. It meant so much to her that they were in her hand writing. Another reminder to make copies of your recipes in your hand writing for your kids kids and grandkids.

Here is her Red Sauce recipe just as she wrote it.

Red Sauce (sweet)

1 peck tomatoes
8 cups sugar
8 cups vinegar (cidar)
8 medium onions
3 tablespoon salt

Put tomatoes and onions through food grinder. Mix all together. Bring to boil. Turn to low and cook for a long time--until rather thick. Stir often.

That's it. I would put into jars and process in water bath for at least 10 minutes to seal. That is what I do with my own relish recipe. You could probably use a food processor if you don't have a food grinder. I remember she always served this with almost every meal we had at her house.
