Ingredients

• 1 cup Apricot preserves
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apricot preserves, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, garlic, and ground ginger.

Step 2

Stir the mixture continuously until the ingredients combine and the sauce starts to simmer, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until the cornstarch fully dissolves, creating a slurry.

Step 4

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring to prevent lumps.

Step 5

Continue cooking and stirring for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Remove the pan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.

Step 7

Transfer the duck sauce to a clean container and let it cool completely. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
