Remove from heat. Using a stick blender, blend until smooth. If you don’t have a stick blender, place sauce in a stand-up blender. Cover the top with a towel (so you don’t get burned by any splashes), and blend on low for 5-10 seconds. Stir and blend on medium until smooth.

Keep warm for use or refrigerate. The sauce keeps for 1 week under refrigeration.

This sauce is a great accompaniment to chicken, pork, or beef.
