Makes 1 1/4 cups
Ingredients:
Directions:
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until it has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until just slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat; set aside to cool. May cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
Ingredients are too varied for a meaningful analysis.
