In a medium saucepan, add raisins and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes or until the raisins are plump and soft.
Transfer the cooked raisins and their water to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
Pour the raisin puree back into the saucepan and set over low heat.
Add distilled white vinegar, tomato paste, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to the saucepan.
Stir the mixture well and let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to create a smooth slurry.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
