Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan, stirring to mix them evenly so no sugar or seasoning settles at the bottom.

  2. Step 2.

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, watching closely so it does not boil over.

  3. Step 3.

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low so the sauce simmers gently, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or scorching.

  4. Step 4.

    The sauce is ready when it has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon; use it to baste pork loin back ribs, pork chops or roast, chicken, or hamburgers.
