    Preparation Steps

    1

    Peel and grate the fresh ginger to ensure its intense flavor is fully released in the sauce.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the grated ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    3

    Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and lime juice, and stir well to combine.

    4

    Add the cinnamon stick and a pinch of nutmeg. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

    5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water. Gradually drizzle the mixture into the sauce while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

    6

    Add the honey and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

    7

    Remove the cinnamon stick. Stir one last time and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

    8

    Serve warm with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or even pancakes for a uniquely spiced culinary experience.
