Shiny sauce

I'm for the spritz of AJ. Make sure that your spray bottle puts out a very fine mist and hit it just before you close the box.

I use honey to thin my sauce and get shine.

+1 on the honey for shine.

I cut my red sauce with some agave/honey 70/30 ratio. When drying after saucing the sweet of honey disappeared. Apple juice at the last moment.

Butter is used in most kitchens to add shine to a sauce. A tsp or Tbsp is usually enough.

Lite corn syrup has very little taste to it. There is also light agave nectar that is not really too sweet either.

I've heard on here somewhere that cornstarch or Arrowroot will give it shine. I wouldn't use too much or it might thicken.

Think of how shiny that General Tso's chicken was you ate last night.

Don't know if cornstarch gives much shine, but arrowroot will add lot. It will also thicken, and has NO flavor change. Use a little ( start with a tsp), mixed in a small amount of water, to add shine with no noticeable thickening.
