• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• orange rind
• 1 1⁄2 cups orange juice, freshly squeezed preferred
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 cups fresh strawberries, halved, all about the same size
• 1⁄4 cup brandy or 1/4 cup kirsch

directions

1. In large skillet over medium heat, stir together orange rind strips, orange juice, sugar and vanilla until sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Bring to boil over medium-high heat.
2. Whisk cornstarch with 3 tbsp water; whisk into pan and boil, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened and glossy, about 1 minute. Discard orange rind strips.
3. Add strawberries; cook just until softened, about 2 minutes.
4. In small saucepan, heat brandy over medium heat; remove from heat. With long match, ignite brandy and pour, still flaming, over warm berries. When flame dies, serve immediately.*** If you are serving berries over ice cream or cake, do that first and then add the sauce.

Terrific recipe! I used this to fill and top Recipe #425018, with some Cool Whip. It didn't end up fat free, but it sure was good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
