Bring the mixture to a boil , stirring often, until reduced to your desired thickness (about 5 to 10 minutes). Skim the foam is desired.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. Sauce will thicken while cooling. Set 1 teaspoon aside and transfer the remaining sauce to jars or bottles and refrigerate.
