Notes
Tips
- While heating, stir it often to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Give it 1 - 2 hours to cool in the refrigerator before using it. This allows it to thicken up.
- Try not to let it rapidly boil while heating. You can turn down the heat if need be.
- Keep it closed in an airtight container (such as a mason jar). It should be kept cool in the fridge. It can be kept for 2 -4 weeks.
- If you won't use it all in 2 - 4 weeks, freeze it in an ice cube tray.
