Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 ounces Bacon grease
1/4 pound Red onion -- dice fine
2 cups Water
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 tablespoon Tabasco

Place the bacon grease in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until the onions start to blacken. While the onion sare carmelizing, in a mixing bowl place the water, honey and red wine vinegar. Using a wire whisk, mix the ingredients well. Add the cornstarch and whisk well.

After the onions have carmelized, add the Dijon mustard to the onions and stir together with a rubber spatula. Add the water, vinegar, pepper (sic.) honey and cornstarch to the mustard and onions and mix.

Continue stirring until mix thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and store in refigerator until needed.

Note: To reheat use a double boiler. I put the tabasco on the ingredient list if you like it. In different parts of the country Bennigan's recipe omits this ingredient.
