Kumquat Sauce for Pancakes
Sauces and Marinades • Italian
Description
If you don't have Cointreau, it's not a problem. You can completely omit the alcohol from this sauce, or use any orange liqueur. It still turns out very tasty. Although I at least left in some brandy.
Ingredients
- Kumquat 5 oz
- Butter 5 oz
- Brown Sugar 5 oz
- Oranges 2 pieces
- Cointreau 2 tablespoons
- Brandy 1 tablespoon
- Lemon ½ piece
