MANDARIN ORANGE SAUCE
A quick and easy sauce to serve with a scoop of ice cream, a piece of sponge cake or fruit cake, or cheesecake. Also good over pancakes, french toast, or crepes. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry if you like. Use fresh peaches in place of the oranges or use canned peaches with some of the juice. You can serve individual servings in wide-mouth wine glasses for pretty presentation. A great last minute dessert. I keep an angel food cake in the freezer and a couple cans of mandarin oranges in the pantry for this dessert for unexpected company.

- To make the most of your mandarin orange grilling sauce, use fresh mandarin oranges whenever possible. Fresh oranges will give your sauce a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- If you don't have fresh mandarin oranges, you can use canned mandarin oranges in syrup. Just be sure to drain the syrup before using.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar in the sauce to taste. If you like your sauce sweeter, add more brown sugar. If you prefer a more savory sauce, use less brown sugar.
- This sauce is also great for marinating chicken, pork, or tofu before grilling. Simply combine the sauce with your protein of choice in a zip-top bag and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
