  3. Add ½ cup of water to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup of granulated sugar.
  5. Continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  8. Immediately place the saucepan in a bowl filled with ice water to quickly cool the sauce, stirring frequently.
