Tasty orange sauce recipe

[amethyst73]

It's cold.  I'm hungry.

I want a snack that's warm, but preferably reasonably healthy.

We have bananas; what can I do with bananas that's not too much work and should be tasty?

Amethyst's Spur-of-the-Moment Orange Sauce
Mix:
   1/3 - 1/2 cup orange juice
   cautious sprinkle of cloves
   somewhat more generous sprinkle of ginger
   scant 1/2 tsp cornstarch
   scant teaspoonful of honey (I just squeezed what seemed like a good amount out of the jar)

Pour into small saucepan or skillet.  Cook, stirring on low-mediumish heat.  Allow to bubble 5-10 minutes till thick.  Cool a little, and pour over substrate of choice.  Sliced bananas are fine (you can then add leftover finely chopped almonds, which adds some nice texture); this would also work well over ice cream or cake - chocolate would be preferable, but a good pound cake would also work well.

This is, no doubt, what comes of having the cover of Ratatouille staring at me for the last couple of days.  :)

Yeah, it was surprisingly good - that's why I figured it was worth writing down and sharing with folks.

Happy holidays and all that to you too! Any chance you'll have interviews out here anytime?
