Orange Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (230 g) sugar
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) water
- A pinch of cream of tartar or a few drops of lemon juice
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
- Spread the sugar in an even layer in a medium heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan.
- Pour the water over the sugar to dampen it, but dont stir.
- Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and add the cream of tartar or lemon juice.
- Continue to cook, without stirring, but swirling the pan if the sugar clumps or begins to brown unevenly.
- When the caramel turns dark amber in color and begins to foam a bit, remove from the heat and immediately add half of the orange juice.
- The caramel will bubble up vigorously, then the bubbling will subside.
- Stir with a heatproof utensil until any hardened bits of caramel completely dissolve.
- Let cool for 3 minutes, then stir in the remaining orange juice.
- Serve the sauce at room temperature.
- This sauce can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
