Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Zest of an orange
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, and lemon juice.
Add the honey, brown sugar, orange zest, salt, and ground ginger to the saucepan. Stir until well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Use the sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
