By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• In an accommodating kettle combine the following ingredients:
• 1 (46 oz.) can tomato juice
• 4 oz prepared mustard
• 1 (14 oz.) bottle ketchup
• 4 TB season salt
• 5 oz. A-1 Sauce
• 1 onion the size of an egg, chopped
• 6 oz. Heinz 57 Sauce
• 6 whole cloves garlic, peeled
• 5 oz. Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 4 oz. white vinegar
• 4 TB lemon juice
• 21 oz. water
• 3 dry bay leaves

Preparation

Step 1

Bring mixture to full boil, stirring to combine mixture. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer about 5 minutes, stirring frequently so it won't scorch. Cool to lukewarm. Add Tabasco Sauce to taste if you wish. Divide mixture into family size containers to freeze to be used within 1 year.

Makes about 3 quarts.

This sauce can be made in smaller quantities for immediate use, but the savings is in making it for the freezer.
