Bennigan's Hot Bacon Dressing

Bennigan's Hot Bacon Dressing
Serving Size : 1
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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 onions
are 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 differnt parts of the country
Bennigan's omits this ingredient.
