Recipe by Scott Rhoades

Easy sauce for vegetables, chicken, or fish. I originally developed this recipe as a topping for fresh steamed broccoli but found it works well with a variety of foods. I get the tangerine juice from Walmart but other large grocery stores and natural food markets should carry it. For a slightly different flavor try mandarin orange juice.

1 ¹⁄₂

cups tangerine juice (no pulp)
1

tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1

tablespoon cornstarch
2

tablespoons butter
¹⁄₂

teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

Put 1 cup of tangerine juice in sauce pan along with lemon juice, butter, and salt.
Put pan on low heat.
You want to heat up the mixture without boiling it.
The butter should be completely melted and sauce steaming.
While the main ingredients are heating up, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of tangerine juice with the corn starch and mix until smooth.
Once the sauce is steaming slowly whisk the corn starch mixture into the pan.
Keep whisking until sauce thickens.
Once sauce has thickened, remove from heat and serve over you favorite steamed vegetables (it is excellent over broccoli), fish, or chicken.
