Orange Cream Sauce

The original of this make-over recipe was found on ZAAR, but I wanted a more intense orange flavor and a thinner sauce.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 10
• Yields: 2 cups

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 1  cup  orange juice
• 1  teaspoon orange zest, finely chopped
• 1  cup heavy whipping cream
• 1  teaspoon  orange extract

Directions

1. In a deep sauce pan, combine sugar, orange juice and orange zest.
2. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook 5 minutes, stirring almost constantly, being careful not to burn the mixture.
3. Momentarily remove the pan from the heat; add the whipping cream, stirring to mix well.
4. Return the pan to the stove; bring to a boil, cooking for 2 minutes and stirring constantly.
5. Remove from heat; add the extract. Stir to combine well.
6. Cool and serve warm or cold over pound cake, ice cream, or whatever!
