"Well we're onto our last step in making our sauce and now what we need to do is we just need to let it simmer until it gets a nice syrupy consistency to it. We want to make sure that we don't get it too runny, it's got to be a nice thick when we actually put it over the bananas and the ice cream. Now there's also one last ingredient that we're going to be putting in this step, now go ahead and take your spoon and go ahead and stir the mixture up. So just keep on simmering it over low heat and make sure to stir it occasionally because you want to make sure that all the ingredients mix well together. And for one last step we're actually going to be putting orange zest into it, and it's going to give it a nice orangy flavor. So in order to this we need to use a grater and what we're going to do is we're just going to take a regular orange now make sure that you wash the orange because we're going to do, is we're going to scrap off the skin of the orange to make the orange zest, and basically you just take your grater and go ahead and grate the orange until we get about a teaspoon of orange zest. Now as you can see already done it so I already have one teaspoon of orange zest right here, and we're just going ahead and put that into our mixture. This is going to give it that final additional really good flavor and now what we need to do is just go ahead and stir that orange zest into it. And what that's going to do is going to give it that little bit of an orange flavor to and also help it thicken it up just a little bit. So keep on stirring this and what we want to make sure of is this nice syrupy consistency and as you can see it's still pretty runny here, so we're going to have to let this cook and simmer for a little while. So that's the final ingredient in this and this is how we finish making our sauce or our bananas foster."
