Joe Perry’s Rock Your World™ Boneyard Brew Hot Sauce Rockin’ Dipping Sauce
2 Tbsp unsalted butter 1 medium white onion 2 stalks celery 1 Tbsp minced garlic 2 14-1/2 ounce cans whole tomatoes 1 6 ounce can tomato paste 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup Joe Perry’s Rock Your World™ Boneyard Brew Hot Sauce 2 cups mayonnaise
Chop the onion rather coarsely to get one cup. Clean the celery stalks and slice them to be about the same size as the chopped onion.
Melt the butter in the bottom of the skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and garlic to the melted butter in the skillet and sauté the vegetables and garlic until the onion is slightly translucent. Temporarily remove the skillet from the heat. Dump the tomatoes from the cans into the colander in a sink and let them drain. Toss them a few times to ensure the majority of the juice is gone. Transfer the tomatoes to the cutting board and chop them rather coarsely. Except for the mayonnaise, stir the rest of the ingredients in with the onion and celery in the skillet and set it over low heat. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring almost constantly to prevent scorching. (As this sauce makes fumes when making it, please simmer this sauce and clean up the pot in a well-ventilated area!) Let the sauce cool for a few minutes.
Dump the mayonnaise and the simmered sauce into a food processor and purée until smooth, stopping the food processor and scraping it down with a rubber spatula once or twice.
Chill before serving with onion rings or other dippable foods
