Cook?s Note

The sauce thickens a bit as it cools, but if your sauce is too thin, set your pot on the Saut? setting for 5 to 10 minutes to let some of it evaporate. Or, make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water together. Pour it into the pot and boil on the Saut? setting until thickened.
