Family recipe for Spinach Salad

/4 # bacon cut in width wise pieces (not long strips)
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1/4 c red wine (or use all apple cider or any combination of vinegars)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 c sugar
1 & 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 c beef broth

Saute bacon until crisp, remove from pan to drain.
In bacon drippings, stir in sugar. Add vinegars, salt and pepper.
Blend cornstarch with 2 Tbls of the beef broth.
Add remaining beef broth to skillet then stir in cornstarch mix.
Cook until thickened.

For the salad, I use baby spinach, red onion rings and sliced or grated
hard boiled eggs, if you want.

Sometimes I also add things to the dressing, like celery seed, when I add the salt and pepper.

Good luck and Bon Appetite!!!!
