I agree with the other reviewers...about the nutmeg and cloves. I remember the clove taste, but I think it's best without the nutmeg. I also cut back on the ketchup since it made it more tomatoey than the original Dog Sauce. They used dill pickles to top their awesome dogs. Gee...I sure miss that place...cobwebs and all....

It says to use 1 1/2 diced onions but doesn't say where to use them in the recipe. Is it a topping for the hot dog and if so, why would you list it as the second ingredient in a recipe?

Based on the other reviews, I reduced the ketchup to 12 oz, I used a tsp instead of tblsp for the cloves and added about 2 tsp of salt. I'm thinking I might it!!!!!!
