Deglaze with your orange juice and return to the boil. If your going to use the sauce as a glaze for say duck then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, eemove from heat and set aside forglazing. If your using for a finishing sauce ten continue to reduce the sauce a further 5 to 15 minutes or to your required thickness. Season with the sea salt and away you go!
