Recipe Category: Sauces
Keywords: Canadian, Broil/Grill, < 30 Mins, Oven, Easy
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon gingerroot
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the orange marmalade, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, grated gingerroot, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir the ingredients until well combined.
-
Cook the Sauce: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the sauce to slightly thicken.
-
Remove from Heat: Once the sauce has reached a boil and the flavors have infused, remove the saucepan from the heat source.
-
Stir Well: Give the sauce a final stir to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Cool Down: If you’re planning to use the sauce as a marinade, allow it to cool to room temperature before applying it to your meat. This will prevent the meat from cooking prematurely when marinating.
-
Serve or Store: Use the Ginger Orange Sauce immediately as a basting sauce for your grilled dishes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use. It can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
