Clementine Sauce is a flavorful accompaniment to ice cream, fruit, or our favorite Bomboloni.

Ingredients

Makes about 1 1/8 cups

1 1/4 pounds clementines (about 8)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Squeeze enough juice from clementines to measure 1 cup.

    Step 2

    Whisk together juice, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, then briskly simmer, whisking, 1 minute.

    Step 3

    Remove pan from heat and whisk in butter until melted.

    Step 4

    Pour into a bowl and cover surface with wax paper or parchment. Cool to warm, about 30 minutes.

Cooks' Note:

•Sauce can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Rewarm over low heat before serving.
