Don't cook for too long afterwards or the sauce will thin out again (it will also thin out if you stir too Janetttnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855800723415282840.post-7703449420057171512009-12-17T09:45:40.056-05:002009-12-17T09:45:40.056-05:00Anon ~ I have no idea why it would not have thicke...Anon ~ I have no idea why it would not have thickened with your cornstarch..can cornstarch go bad & lose it's effectiveness???

I tried adding a lot more cornstarch (i.e. over doubled the amount) but it never got past the liquidy state. I may have warmed the other ingredients longer than I was supposed to, if that may have any effect. Any thoughts?
