Monkey Gland Sauce

Monkey gland sauce is a South African sauce that can be found on the table in most fast food restaurants. Much like tomato ketchup, it is thick, sweet, and tangy deep red sauce with a glossy finish. Easy to make with common pantry staples, it is especially good on hamburgers and fries.
