Soy and Honey Dipping Sauce

This recipe has been used in our family for years. It's better than any store-bought sauce and so quick and easy to make! Have extra sauce on hand because people will want to use it as a dipping sauce too.

¾ cup packed brown sugar
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp. fresh ginger root, minced (1 tsp. dried)
2½ cups water
5 Tbsp. pure honey
¼ cup soy sauce
½ tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
⅓ cup water

Mix together the brown sugar, garlic, ginger, 2½ cups water, honey, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil.

Whisk together the cornstarch and ⅓ cup water in measuring cup or a small bowl; whisk into the sauce mixture and let simmer gently until slightly thickened.

Sauce will thicken further as it cools, but as-is it is perfect for a nice saucy stirfry or for tossing with a batch of wings or chicken drumsticks!

Makes about 4 cups.
