Notes
Optional: 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder. If you don't have apricot
preserve, you can use peach preserve! Both are delicious. Serve
with some toasted bread :)
If the sauce is too watery for you, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of
corn starch mixed in cold water. Add this during the last 3 to 5
minutes of the cooking process.
