How to Make Apricot Sweet Sour Sauce

  2. Whisk ingredients together until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  4. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
