I have a pretty tasty recipe for slow cooker pulled pork BBQ sandwiches. However, when the meat is done cooking the sauce has a more liquid-y consistency. What can I add to fix this? I'm not sure if more ketchup would be it too tomato-y. Should I add a little store bought sauce?|||Add some Honey or Molasses to your sauce (think Honey BBQ) Molasses is often part of making BBQ as well. Don't add flour though, it will taint the taste of your food, other option is the cornstarch, doesn't add any additional flavor.|||We need details. What is the base of your sauce, a tomato product? I use tomato sauce for mine, and for my uses, it is the right consistency. Using ketchup would make it tomato-y and add more sugar and/ or salt that you might not want. Try tomato sauce or paste. They sell paste in tubes these days.
Meanwhile, a little cornstarch, a little ketchup, some instant mashed potatoes would all work.
a little flour take some of the sauce, put it in a small jar, put in a little flour, shake it, and add it when the sauce is hot slowly and stir would work.|||I'd go with tomato paste or molasses depending on the flavor you're after. Also, you could reduce whatever liquid ingredient you use (like ketchup - it's actually quite runny).
For cornstarch, rub some cornstarch is a little warm water with your finger, then add it in while stirring and let it cook down for a few minutes.|||You can leave it boiling, in low heat for a while, that way the water will evaporate..
You could also add roux: flour + butter. If you use the flour alone, it will make lumps..|||Bring your liquid-y sauce to a boil then add a slurry of cornstarch and cold water to it. It'll bring it around faster than boiling it down.|||No use some flour and water or the liquid mixed together and stir in.
Cook for about 5 minutes, and be ready to repeat if required.|||sugar, honey, or try corn starch mixed with a little water.|||add corn starch, not to much just enough to thicken the sauce.|||you could add some flour and peanut butter.|||flour.
