Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup orange juice 
  • 0.5 cup sugar 
  • cup whipping cream 

Equipment

  • frying pan

  • microwave

Directions

  1. In a 12-inch frying pan or 5- to 6-quart pan, mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup orange juice. Cook over high heat, shaking pan often, until mixture is amber colored and very bubbly, about 8 minutes; do not scorch.
