Coney Sauce

Growing up in Western Pa. our local Dairy Isle was family owned.  As a kid I loved their Coney Dogs.  Today, a new family owns the Dairy Isle but the Coney sauce recipe remains the same.  A friend shared the recipe with my Mom and now I'm sharing it with you!  It makes a large batch but the sauce freezes great.
