-
Step 1.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and stir well with a spoon or whisk until evenly mixed, scraping the bottom and corners so nothing clumps or sticks.
-
Step 2.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture just to a boil, watching closely so it doesn't boil over; this should take several minutes.
-
Step 3.
As soon as it just reaches a boil, lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, then cook uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom to prevent sticking, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.
-
Step 4.
While the sauce simmers, use the waiting time to prepare any accompaniments or sides, checking the pan every so often to stir and adjust the heat if it bubbles too vigorously.
