what can i substitute for the corn starch in this recipe? Will arrowroot starch hold up when boiling?
Tracy O.
You can substitute it with potato starch because it’s very similar to cornstarch.
Arrowroot starch thickens at a lower temperature than cornstarch. It is not weakened by acidic ingredients. It has a neutral taste and is not affected by freezing.
Also, it is recommended that arrowroot starch mix with cool liquid before adding to a hot fluid. Heat up the mixture until the mixture thickens and remove the heat immediately. Overheating can cause the mixture to thin and break down the arrowroot's thickening property.
You can try two teaspoons of arrowroot starch for one tablespoon of cornstarch. Or, you may need to adjust the amount of arrowroot starch.

Thank you! Sounds like potato starch is closer to 1:1 swap and is my best bet. Thank you very much for the prompt response... I will let you know how it turns out!

How long can this glaze last in the he fridge. Can I freeze it
Tracy O.
The glaze can last in the fridge for 3-5 days. I haven't tried to freeze it. I think it is ok to freeze it. You can heat up in the microwave when you fridge it. If you freeze it, I suggest defrosting it and warm in the microwave or reheat on the top stove.
