  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, uncovered, for about 1 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The sauce will thicken and the flavors will develop as it cooks.

  • Let the sauce cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers or jars.

  • Refrigerate the sauce and use it Within a Week. Alternatively, you can freeze it for longer storage.
