Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, granulated sugar, and honey.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add ground cardamom and a pinch of salt to the mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.
Let the syrup cool for 5 minutes, as it will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or french toast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before serving.
