1Tbspcornstarch
2-4Tbsphoney
1Tbsporange juice concentrate
Instructions
Strain mandarin oranges to separate segments from juice. Keep juice. You should have approximately 2 cups of mandarin orange segments and 1 cup of juice, exact measurement does not matter.
Pour cornstarch into small pot. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of reserved juice to fully dissolve cornstarch.
Whisk in remainder of juice, honey and orange juice concentrate. Stir constantly while bringing mixture to a boil, about 3-5 minutes.
Continue to stir for one minute once it boils and begins to thicken and turn glassy.
Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking and add mandarin orange segments. Cook for one minute more to incorporate any juice from added oranges.
Remove from heat and let cool. Mixture will thicken further as it cools.
Keep in fridge for up to 4 days. Sauce made with cornstarch does not freeze well.
