Orange sauce with vanilla – a recipe for a homemade sweet and tangy orange sauce with vanilla seeds. It is super easy to make with just a few ingredients: orange juice, vanilla and sugar. The juice is cooked with vanilla and sugar until it reduces to a light syrup, then orange zest is added. The sauce is chilled until cold and then it is ready to serve.
One of the best ways to use it is with Danish risalamande, instead of or together with the classic cherry sauce. It is also great with other desserts, eg. fudgy brownies with vanilla ice cream, or with waffles or pancakes. You can also use it in drinks.
The smart thing is that it can be made a couple of days ahead and kept in the fridge. I always serve it cold, so it doesn’t melt the ice cream or risalamande, but you can warm it slightly if you prefer. Enjoy!

Instructions
Put the orange juice in a pan. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod and mash them with a little of the sugar. Add the vanilla sugar and the rest of the sugar to the pan and bring to the boil while stirring.
Let the sauce reduce, without a lid, for about 30 minutes until it is a little thicker.
Add the orange zest, pour the sauce into a container with a lid and keep it in the fridge, where it keeps for about 1 week. Enjoy!
