Slimming World recipe

Use a vegetable peeler to remove four wide strips of peel from an orange, removing any white parts. Cut these into very thin, long strips (zest). Add to boiling water and boil for 5 seconds. Place in a sieve and refresh under cold running water. Allow to dry on kitchen paper. Reserve the cooking water in the saucepan. Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice. Peel the second orange and cut it into segments. Add the chicken stock, orange juice, fruit jelly, sweetener and vinegar to the cooking water and simmer over very low heat for 20 minutes, or until it has reduced to 150 ml. Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, add to the sauce and simmer for 1 minute. Add three-quarters of the orange peel and all the orange segments and stir gently briefly. Sprinkle the rest of the orange peel over the main course when serving. This very tasty sauce goes very well with poultry dishes.
