What each ingredient does
- Fruit juice
- Provides the main flavor and liquid base of the sauce.
- Corn starch
- Thickens the liquid into a smooth sauce as it heats.
The step that matters
Stir in the corn starch until well combined. Cornstarch clumps if added without enough stirring. Mixing it thoroughly before or as the liquid heats keeps the sauce smooth and lets the starch thicken evenly.
