Combine all ingredients in a medium pot and cook over medium heat for 5–10 minutes, until the mixture thickens. The mixture will be more of a brownish red color, but will turn red after it cools.
Once thickened, remove sauce from heat and allow to cool slightly. Poor into a heat-resistant bowl and refrigerate overnight. Serve chilled.
