I made this to go with duck, but it would be terrific with chicken or pork as well.

lemon
3

cups chicken stock (a mix of the two is best) or 3 cups beef stock (a mix of the two is best)
3

tablespoons red wine vinegar

DIRECTIONS

Peel the zest off of 2 oranges and the lemon with a vegetable peeler; set aside.
Squeeze the juice out of all the oranges and the lemon; set aside.
In a saute pan, over low heat, cook the sugar with the vinegar until reduced to a dark syrup.
Add the stock and orange and lemon juices; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes, skimming any foam that appears on the top.
Once done, the sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Meanwhile, cut the reserved zests into thin julienne strips; add to sauce the last couple of minutes of cooking.
Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste; serve hot.
