  3. Remove from heat and blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender.
  4. Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl to achieve a silky sauce.
  5. Return the strained liquid to the saucepan and simmer over low heat for an additional 10 minutes to thicken.
  6. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
