HOW TO MAKE SWEET ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• Squeeze the onion for juice. Take a small slice of onion and place it in a garlic press. Squeeze the press to extract juice from the onion. You'll need about 3/4 of a teaspoon (4 ml) of juice and pour the juice into a small saucepan.
• Measure all of the ingredients into a saucepan. Measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (225 g) of granulated sugar, 1⁄2 cup and 1 tablespoon (255 ml) of cold water, 6 tablespoons (89 ml) of white vinegar, and 1 1⁄2 tablespoons (22 ml) of red wine vinegar into a small saucepan. You'll also need to add these seasonings: 1 tablespoon (8 g) arrowroot 1 tablespoon (5 g) minced onion flakes 2 1⁄2 teaspoons (13 g) Dijon mustard 2 1⁄2 teaspoons (5 g) mustard powder 3⁄4 teaspoon (3 g) celery salt 3⁄4 teaspoon (9 g) poppy seeds 1⁄2 teaspoon (2 g) onion salt 1⁄4 teaspoon (1 g) garlic salt 1⁄4 teaspoon (0.5 g) paprika 1⁄4 teaspoon (0.5 g) black pepper 1 to 2 drops sesame oil
• Whisk and heat the sauce. Set the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to high. Whisk the sauce while it heats and bring it to a boil.
