orange sauce

Duck's tangy companion

Orange sauce is a sauce flavored with orange juice, zest, or both, typically used on poultry, duck, or desserts.

The classic French version, sauce à l'orange, pairs with roasted duck.

Sweeter versions appear on crêpes and pancakes.

The sauce usually combines citrus with stock, sugar, or butter: The duck came with a rich orange sauce.
