Note
For a fresher taste, substitute the reconstituted frozen orange juice with freshly squeezed orange juice.
If you do not have dried orange peel, you can use fresh orange zest, but add it in the last minute of cooking to prevent bitterness.
This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving if it has thickened too much.
