We have a few family go-to recipes and this is one of them. I first learned it while my wife and I were dating (surprised her with a home cooked meal for a date night once), and I’ve been slowly perfecting it over time.
Its a traditional style orange sauce with a delightful balance between sweet and bitter you expect from the actual fruit. None of that overly sweet stuff you get in cheap fast food joints here!
The best part? Its two ingredients and its easy to make! You can whip this up to pair with chicken, shrimp, drizzle over rice – you name something savory, you can pair this sauce with it!
Ingredients
- 1- 12 oz can frozen orange juice concentrate
- 2 TBS lemon juice concentrate
Instructions
- Place can of orange juice in bowl and allow to partially thaw.
- Put thawed orange juice and lemon juice into a saucepan. Combine over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Heat for 10-15 minutes for sauce to coat things in, 20-25 minutes for a dipping sauce.
- Allow to cool before serving.
