Batchelor Catsup (pasta Sauce).

This is intended to be a simple instructable for catsup, but in a pinch it could be used with pasta. This is another one of those basic recipes you have to have. You can add it to mayonnaise to make other sauces, use it on meat for basting for a barbecue. There is no end to the possibilities for usage.

Ingredients:

1 - 46 ounce can thick pulpy tomato juice

1/3 - cup packed dark brown sugar. (1/3 cup regular sugar in a pinch)

1/2 - cup cider vinegar (regular vinegar will do in a pinch)

Add the tomato juice first. Then add the rest of the ingredients except the cornstarch. Stir well until melded. Bring to a boil and add the corn starch.

Let cool and then store in a covered container in the fridge for use pretty quick.
