Orange Reduction Sauce

I wanted to make this sauce, but had no idea how. So I kind of made it up as I went along... (reminds me of a song by Mike and the Mechanics).. Anyway...

Preparation Time: 5min
Cooking time: 10min
Difficulty Level: Easy
Serves: 5

Ingredients

1 orange
2tbs water
pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
1/2t ground ginger
1/2t butter
Orange zest

Method

Cut out the flesh of the orange and put in a small pot. Add the water and start cooking. 

 As it cooks, squash the flesh to get as much juices out of it as possible. Once it very soft, take it off the heat, press through a sieve into a bowl, pour the juice back into the pot, back on the heat. 

Add the nutmeg, lemon juice, ginger and the zest of 1/4 orange. Cook a little. Add the butter. Let it reduce to watery syrup consistency. 


Enjoy over ... well, anything you like! Pork tjops, ice cream, chicken....

Yours in oil and veggies
