How to Make Orange Lime Sauce From The Plaza Hotel

Peel the zest from 2 limes using a vegetable peeler or zester. Avoid the white pith as much as possible.
Place the lime zest in a small saucepan and cover with 1/2 cup cold water. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. This removes some of the bitterness.
Drain the zest and set aside.
In the same saucepan, combine the zest with 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, 1/4 cup orange marmalade, and 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Serve immediately as a hot condiment for chicken. Makes approximately 1/2 cup.
