Step 1

Place all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce begins to thicken, 10-15 minutes. (It should coat the back of a spoon, but note that it will continue to thicken as it cools.)

Step 3

Strain the garlic from the sauce and allow to cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
