  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the sauce. This will help to prevent scorching.
  • Stir the sauce constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
  • Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking. You can add more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
