Notes

– For the best flavor, allow the sauce to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld. – Adjust the sweetness by adding a little more or less sugar to your preference. – If I find the sauce is a bit too thick, I sometimes add a tiny splash of water or extra lemon juice to reach my desired consistency.
