Default Homemade Quilt Basting Spray - where did I go wrong?????

I love watching Chatterbox quit YouTube videos especially for Janome product.

I thought I would try the Homemade basting spray. It didn't work. After a special trip for Vodka (I don't drink), buying a spray bottle, and finding a jar (peaches from Costco) for the left overs, I was ready to go.

I followed the recipe to a T - and it just kept boiling and never thickening. I was stirring with a nonstick whisk and not noticing anything on the bottom. It just kept cooking and that wasn't any thickening. There was a slight thickening, but not the "gooey" as shown in the video. I cooked for an hour thinking that should have been mentioned in the instructions. I finally got it to the gooey stage (less than shown) and turned it off. About an hour later I went back and it's so thick I had to throw it out. In doing, I realize there is 1/4 inch of solid gunk at the bottom of my pan.

I guess it wasn't meant to be.....
