Why This Recipe Works

This bright, glossy sauce relies on orange marmalade for body and citrus depth. Using freshly squeezed juice makes a noticeable difference in the final brightness.

Instructions

Whisk the orange juice, marmalade, honey, cornstarch, ginger, and garlic powder together in a small saucepan until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat—the oil-free liquid should begin to bubble and steam—while whisking constantly to prevent the cornstarch from clumping.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is glossy and slightly thickened.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and salt to taste.

Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving; it will continue to thicken and the flavors will sharpen as it sits.
