Combine all ingredients except the vanilla in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn heat down slightly and simmer until slightly thickened (to about the consistency of maple syrup), about 10 to 15 minutes. Swirl the saucepan as necessary to help the sugar dissolve, but don’t stir it.
Once thickened, turn off heat and add the vanilla.
Cool, and then pour into a lidded glass jar for storage.
Let it cool to room temperature before covering the jar.
