How to Make Gand's Citrus Reduction For Plate Decoration

  1. Combine 1 cup fresh orange juice, ½ cup fresh lemon juice, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional) in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to a syrupy consistency and coats the back of a spoon. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken further.
  5. Once chilled, use a spoon or a small brush to delicately paint the reduction onto your dessert plates before adding your dessert. Get creative with swirls and patterns!
