Instructions

In my favorite saucepan, I mix all the ingredients with my lovely sauce mixer.
Then, I bring it to a boil and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
Once thickened, I remove it from heat and let it cool.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking.
Let the sauce cool completely for better flavor.
It keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
