In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apricot preserves, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, garlic, and ground ginger.
Stir the mixture continuously until the ingredients combine and the sauce starts to simmer, about 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until the cornstarch fully dissolves, creating a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring to prevent lumps.
Continue cooking and stirring for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Transfer the duck sauce to a clean container and let it cool completely. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
