  • 1 tablespoon celery, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

Directions

  1. 1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add the onion, celery and garlic. Allow it to cook while you work your way down the list of spices, stirring each one in.
  2. 2. Add the tomato sauce and lemon juice. Increase the heat and bring it to a full, rolling boil; add the sugar and stir until it is dissolved.
  3. 3. Remove from heat, stir in the cornstarch/vinegar mixture; let steep for five minutes.
  4. 4. Strain, mashing the lumps with the back of a spoon; squeezing out all of the flavor. Refrigerate in a closed jar or bottle.
  5. 5. As it cools, occasionally shake the jar. The butter has a tendency to separate from the other ingredients.
