  • ½–1 cup white granulated sugar (or to taste)

  3. Simmer gently for 30–40 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened sufficiently to coat a spoon. Remove from the heat.

  5. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking pan and refrigerate until chilled and set.
  6. Cut into pieces about 4 inches square.
