Orange Sauce

This is a sauce I heard about on The Barefoot Contessa yesterday. She did it for ham, as a glaze, but I thought I could tweak it a little bit and use it to make orange chicken with rice. BJ loved it, but I thought it was a little too sweet, so when I make it again, I will use less marmalade. You could really use it for anything- stir fry, vegetables, green bean sauce, noodles, etc.

Ingredients:

• 
  
  1 jar (or less) of orange marmalade
  
  
  
• 
  
  1/2 cup brown sugar
  
  
  
• 
  
  6 cloves garlic
  
  
  
• 
  
  1/4 cup orange juice
  
  
  
• 
  
  a squeeze of lemon juice, along with a little lemon zest
  
  
  
• 
  
  crushed red pepper, depending on how hot you like it
  
  
  
• 
  
  dash of salt and pepper
  
  Directions:
  
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  Mix all the ingredients in a food processor.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Pour sauce into saucepan/pot and bring to a boil, then simmer.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Enjoy!
  
  
  

(You could also just pour the sauce directly over the meat once mixed and use as a glaze or marinade.)
