  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup water

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened.
  3. Refrigerate to chill, if desired.
