  • Zest Before Juicing: Zesting the citrus fruits before juicing will add a burst of flavor to your sauce.
  • Adjust the Sugar: The amount of sugar in the recipe can be adjusted to your taste preference. For a tarter sauce, use less sugar. For a sweeter sauce, use more sugar.
  • Use Freshly Squeezed Juice: Freshly squeezed citrus juice will give your sauce the best flavor. Avoid using bottled or store-bought juice.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cook the sauce over medium heat to prevent it from burning. Stir constantly to ensure even cooking.
  • Chill Before Serving: Chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
