How to Make Orange Sauce for desserts or as a hot drink

Orange sauce can be used over cakes or bread pudding. This recipe can also be used as a hot drink on cold winter days.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• ¾ cup orange concentrate thawed
• ¼ cup of water
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¼ cup sugar
• dash of salt
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1. Mix thawed orange concentrate and water in a bowl. To thaw the orange concentrate you can leave it out of the fridge for an hour.

2. Add cornstarch to the orange mixture and mix thoroughly. It is important that the cornstarch dissolves and blends completely with the mixture to prevent clumps.

3. In a medium sized saucepan stir in the orange mixture, and add sugar and salt over medium heat. If you are using non stick cooking ware make sure you use a plastic or wooden spoon to stir so you don't scratch the non stick surface.

4. Stir constantly until mixture starts boiling. Let it boil for a few minutes until the consistency of the mixture is rich and syrup like.

5. Add butter or margarine and stir for a couple of minutes until it is completely melted and mixed in.

Tips & Warnings

• Add 2 teaspoons of grated orange peel for extra citrus flavor.
• I have found Minute Maid Original Orange concentrate to have a rich, natural orange flavor. I use it for this recipe.
• When preparing the orange sauce do not leave unattended as it might clump. Stir constantly.
