Notes
*Cornstarch is optional for a thicker, traditional maple syrup consistency. For a thinner syrup, omit this.
Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to a week. Just warm it up before serving to bring back that silky texture.
Freezing: This sauce isn’t the best candidate for freezing, but if you do, store it in a freezer-safe container and thaw it in the fridge before reheating.
