Instructions

Add all the ingredients, except food coloring to a medium saucepan and whisk to combine until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Place it on the stove over medium heat.
Stir or whisk well until it comes to a light boil.
Keep stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust for sugar and tanginess. For a more pronounced red color, add a few drops of red gel food coloring.
Remove the sauce from heat when it thickened and it coats the back of a spoon.
Let the sauce cool before serving.
