This sounds good, but what do you do with the orange? Slice it, cut into pieces, something else? Thanks!

Oh sorry.I will update it. You use the zest of a whole orange.

Thanks @Pooky1 

 

I can see me using that orange sauce on a lot of things...shrimp for one!

 

 

You could use that orange to get fresh OJ besides zesting it.

 

 

I always keep a L&L of orange juice concentrate in my freezer.

 

That way, I can make OJ for any amount in a recipe.
