Ingredients

•  orange rind
• 1 1⁄2 cups  orange juice, freshly squeezed preferred

• 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.
