Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once thickened to your desired consistency, remove the sauce from heat and let it cool.
Transfer the sauce to a storage container or jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
Serve as a glaze, dipping sauce, or side for your favorite dishes.
