Orange-Cardamom Sauce

orange-cardamom sauce tips and tricks

• I’ve made a quick version of this sauce with a partially-empty jar of marmalade from my home fridge: I broke the marmalade up with a spoon, poured in a little water, cardamom, salt, and pepper. I shook it up, removed the lid, and microwaved it in one-minute increments, stirring in between. Super fast and just as delicious.
