Honey Garlic Sauce (VH Garlic Sauce)

A knock-off recipe for VH Garlic Sauce. This is a healthier version without all the additives and preservatives.

1 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
½ cup pure honey
4 Tbsp. molasses
1 tsp. kosher or sea salt
1 tsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
8-10 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
1 tsp. corn starch

Combine sugar, 1/3 cup of water, honey, molasses salt, lemon juice, and garlic in a saucepan. Heat to a boil, stirring well to dissolve and combine ingredients. Once mixture boils, turn heat down and simmer for 5 minutes.

Whisk corn starch into remaining 1/3 cup of water, add to saucepan. Stir until well incorporated and mixture starts to thicken.

Remove from heat. Strain out the garlic, or don't - it's up to you.

Serve straight away, or refrigerate up to 3 days.
