  • When it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, whisking regularly, to let the sauce reduce and thicken. If you want a thicker sauce, let it simmer for longer.
  • Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
  • Transfer the sauce to an air-tight container or jar and refrigerate.
