Orange Sauce

This is a sharp sweet sauce to compliment foods like roast duck.
This is an English recipe.
Given the intense orange flavour this dish has mediterranean roots, probably Greece or Italy.

Ingredients

2 medium to large FAIRTRADE oranges.
a little FAIRTRADE orange juice
50 ml Amazon Flame FAIRTRADE Brazil Nut Oil
50 ml FAIRTRADE red wine
15 gm FAIRTRADE raw cane sugar
double pinch salt
10 ml cornflour
FAIRTRADE Sources
Fresh food
Oranges
Wine
Fruit Juice
Sugar
Brazil Nut Oil

Method

Preparation

Using a very sharp knife, peel the oranges to make very thin shreds of orange skin.
Juice the oranges and discard the pith.
Chop the peel (I use a double handled herb knife) very fine.
Make the volume of fresh orange juice up to 400 ml with the FAIRTRADE juice.

Cooking

Put the oil and the wine into a small pan and heat through to a simmer.
Add the salt.
Add the 400 ml of orange juice progressively keeping the mixture fairly hot.
Add the sugar and stir, and then simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce the volume.
Add the chopped up orange peel and mix thoroughly.
Mix the cornflour with a little cold water, stir into the cornflour about half of the orange mix, and then stir this mix back into the original orange juice.
Re-heat stirring continuously, and once bubbling, remove from the heat.

To serve

Serve hot or cold as appropriate to the main dish.
