Steps:
- Heat the sugar and 2 tablespoons of the water in a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer until the sugar starts to caramelize (the liquid will turn a slight yellowish color). At this point insert a metal teaspoon into the liquid and remove to let cool. The liquid on the spoon should become sticky and slightly yellow.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water and the rest of the ingredients and remove from the heat. Let the marinade cool before applying it to the meat.
