Homemade Cocktail Sauce

OK peeps, I love cocktail sauce. I love to dip french fries in cocktail sauce too - actually I rotate between cocktail sauce and ranch dressing. Anyway, alot of store bought prepared cocktail sauces are on the sweet side. And sweets should be saved for desserts (which could be from the catsup) so Hubby and I were inspired to make our own homemade sauce.  Tomato paste was the logical first ingredient and it added a pure, naturally sweet, concentrated tomato flavor that paired wonderfully with the other robustly flavored ingredients. The horseradish, Worcestershire, garlic and lemon make for a winning cocktail sauce without a hint of unnatural sweetness. Try it, but I warn you-there is no going back to bottled after one bite.

Ingredient:
3/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1/4 small onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon U-Bake salt
1/2 teaspoon U-Bake pepper
juice of 1 lemon

Directions:
Place the tomato paste, vinegar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, pepper and lemon juice into a food processor or blender. Pulse until mostly smooth. Add the horseradish and pulse until evenly distributed. Refrigerate leftovers.
Call me promptly for dinner
