    Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. It should be not thin, but just a bit thick, like a tomato ketchup.

    It may not be super delicious on its own. If it's too bitter add a little brown sugar at a time till the bitterness is toned down. It should taste good allowing the sauce and food you put it on compliment each other.

    Serve I hope you enjoy!!!
