How to Make Orange Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, and the zest of 2 large oranges.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The sauce will begin to thicken slightly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream until smooth and well combined.
- Return the pan to medium-low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. The sauce should thicken further.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of orange extract (optional).
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle warm or chilled over pound cake, ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
