Bennigan's Hot Bacon Dressing



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 (optional)

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 sauce 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. To reheat use a double boiler.
