Combine sugar, ¼ cup of water, honey, molasses salt, lemon juice, and garlic in a small sauce pan.

Heat to a boil over high heat, stirring well to dissolve and combine ingredients. Once mixture boils, turn element down to medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Whisk corn starch into remaining ¼ cup of water, add to saucepan.

Stir until well incorporated and mixture starts to thicken, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

At this point, you can use the sauce right away, or put it in the fridge for use within a couple of days.

Strain out the garlic, or don’t – it’s up to you!
