Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the sliced onion, sliced celery, tomato puree, water, sugar, and sliced lemon in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Add the Red Devil Hot Sauce and crushed red pepper flakes to the pot.
  3. Place the pot over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until the mixture is just hot and the sugar has dissolved.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat immediately; do not allow the sauce to boil to prevent it from turning dark and thin.
  5. Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then strain out the solids through a fine-mesh sieve.
  6. Transfer the strained sauce into tightly covered jars for storage.
