Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. You can even find a deep container and simply pulse with a hand blender a few times and set it aside. Also can be prepared to that point, then put into a pot to let cook on a low heat for 10-15 mins, just lightly simmering. It can be reduced to more of a glaze, or even thickend with cornstarch for a less concentrated flavor but still more of a syrupy consistency. Hope you guys enjoy!
