Sweet Orange Sauce has been a favorite part of our weekend breakfasts for as long as I can remember. My grandmother always served this sauce over her German Pancakes and over crepes.

Notes
* I buy orange juice concentrate specifically to make this recipe. You can open the can of concentrate, remove what you need and transfer the remaining amount to a mason jar. Then simply place it back in the freezer until you need it again.I've tried making this with regular orange juice, fresh orange juice, and even an orange juice reduction. The concentrate delivers the best results every time.
