- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally until the vinegar thickens and is reduced to about 1/2 cup (about 20 minutes). It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before serving. If too thick reheat gently for a few seconds over the stove.
