Squeeze the juice from the orange and zest the peel. This forms the base of the sauce, providing a fresh, citrusy flavor.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary to release its intense flavor into the sauce.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the rosemary and briefly sauté until fragrant, allowing the flavors to bloom.
Pour the orange juice and honey into the saucepan, then stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over low heat.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Slowly drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the simmering orange mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then continue to cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Serve immediately with meats or vegetables, or transfer to a sterilized jar for later use.
