--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      ounces        Bacon grease [56 ml]
     1/4  pound         Red onion -- dice fine [125 g]
   2      cups          Water [500 ml]
     1/2  cup           Honey [168 g]
     1/2  cup           Red wine vinegar [125 g]
   2      tablespoons   Dijon mustard [30 g]
   1 1/2  tablespoons   Cornstarch [11 g]
   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  caramelizing, 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 caramelized, 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 refrigerator until
needed. Note: To  reheat use a double boiler. I put the tabasco on the
ingredient list if  you like it. In different parts of the country
Bennigan's omits this  ingredient.
