Orange Recipe + Warm Orange Sauce

I created this because I had made Trishie's Chocolate and Orange Bread Pudding from this site, and felt like this would enhance her recipe and give me more of that orange flavor I was wanting. Use to serve on a warm bread pudding. Crepes or a pound cake would be good also.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 pinch salt
• ¾ cup cold water
• 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons finely shredded orange peel
• 2 fluid ounces triple sec

Cooking Directions

1. Bring orange juice, sugar, butter, and salt to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Whisk cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl; whisk cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce until thickened and no longer cloudy.
3. Remove sauce from heat and stir in orange peel and triple sec. Serve warm.
