light low-fat version, without ketchup and low in sugar, suitable for WW

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then simmer uncovered over low heat for about 1 hour. After this time, the quantity will be reduced by about half. If you like, you can add a little cornstarch to help the sauce blend together. Then it’s time to season. Whether you prefer it sweeter or spicier is up to you. The sauce gets a final kick by mixing in 1 tablespoon of Metaxa, whiskey, or similar at the end. While the sauce is still hot, pour it into bottles and let it cool upside down. This makes about 500-600 ml. Two 250 ml bottles with metal lids, which have been rinsed with boiling water beforehand, are best. The sauce will then keep in the refrigerator for a good three weeks.
