BURNT ORANGE CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Have everything you need for the sauce at hand; it comes together so quickly it's best to give it your full attention.
• Remove the zest from the oranges in long thin strips with a zester (do not use rasp or peeler).
• Juice the oranges and set aside.
• Combine the zest, sugar, lemon juice and water in a small saucepan (The lemon juice helps avoid crystallization) Heat to boiling over medium heat.
• As the water and sugar melt, they will foam in large frothy bubbles.
• Never stir the caramel, but rotate the pan so the liquid moves the sugar around for even melting.
• Watch the liquid turn from clear to gold; from this point it will quickly turn to amber and burn.
• Remove the pan from the heat as soon as it appears dark gold.
• Place a mesh strainer over the pot (this prevents spattering) and add the orange juice.
• Add the butter to the pot and return to the heat.
• Add the whipping cream and stir until any remaining lumps dissolve.
• Strain to remove the zest.
• Store in the refrigerator and warm like a baby bottle- in the microwave or in a simmering pan of water.
