## The Flavor Triangle Great sauce is all about balance. Think of it as a triangle with three points: Heat (chillies), Sweet (sugar, fruit), and Acid (vinegar, citrus). ### Tips - Start with your base ingredients. - Add acid to brighten flavors and cut through richness. - Use sugar or fruit to balance the heat and acid. Honey, molasses, and maple syrup add complexity. - Taste at every step! The flavor will evolve as it cooks.
