Instructions: Wash and cut vegetables. Boil until very soft. Press through sieve, discard solid parts. Return strained vegetables to heat.

In small saucepan melt butter, add flour, sugar, salt and cayenne; stir well. When blended, slowly mix with strained vegetables. Heat to boiling point and let cook until thickened, stirring frequently.

Pour into hot sterilized jars and close immediately to seal.
