ONE-AND-ONLY CONEY SAUCE



One-And-Only Coney Sauce image

This is the original style sauce, without tomato or onion. Handed down for four generations, from my grandfather to my sons. The flavor is nothing short of fantastic! Try it thicker on hot dogs, and thinner on loose hamburger. Don't be tempted to use a food processor instead of a blender; you'll end up with mush if you do. When doubling this recipe, blend in small batches.
