Istruzioni

Wash the orange and the lemon well.

Slice the fruit and ginger and place the slices into a medium pot along with 5 cups of water.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Strain water with a sieve into a bowl.

Press the fruit into the sieve. You want to get all of the water released.

Place the water back into the pot and add 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vinegar, 1 cup ketchup, and a few drops of red food coloring (if using).

Whisk until well blended.

Heat the sauce over medium high heat.

Combine 3 tablespoons corn starch and 3 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl.

Slowly stream the corn starch liquid into the sauce, stirring constantly.

When the sauce thickens, remove it from heat.
