-
Step 1.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, stirring them together until evenly mixed.
-
Step 2.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom.
-
Step 3.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, which will take about 15 to 20 minutes. It is ready when it coats the back of a spoon and holds its shape rather than running off.
-
Step 4.
Use the finished mixture as a substitute for one can of the original ingredient, or cool and store it until needed.
