Note

Storage: Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it becomes too thick.

Serving Suggestions: This sauce pairs exceptionally well with angel food cake, low-fat custards, fat-free pastries, fruit gelatins, or fresh fruits like bananas, mangos, and other non-citrus fruits.

Yield: This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

Tip: Ensure the water is truly boiling when adding it to the sugar and cornstarch to help dissolve the ingredients quickly and prevent clumping.
