  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. Enjoy!
