Step 1
Start by combining all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally as it cooks, and keep an eye on it until it thickens up nicely—this usually takes about 10 minutes. Once it’s reached a good dipping consistency, take the pan off the heat and pour the sauce into a small bowl. Let it cool for about 15 minutes before digging in. It’s perfect for dipping fresh fruit, pretzels, or even little chunks of angel food cake.

How to serve
This sauce pairs wonderfully with apple slices, pretzels, or vanilla ice cream. You can also drizzle it over cakes, pancakes, or brownies for an extra indulgent treat.
Storage & leftovers
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stove, stirring frequently to restore its smoothness. It should keep well for up to two weeks.
