Mix all ingredients in a stock pot. Simmer 30 minutes. Ready to can. Note: This is an adaption of the original recipe which was from an old "Frugal Gourmet" show. The original called for 2 quarts of water (too runny), and 1 bottle of wine (which made it more runny and didn't add a lot of flavor) and 1 1/2 cups of salt (egad!) In addition, I usually thicken with corn starch that I have colored reddish brown as it is a very runny sauce.
