Orange Sauce for Sweet Puddings

Rub three or four large lumps of sugar upon the rind of a large sweet orange until all the yellow part is taken off. Scrape out the pulp and juice of two oranges, and add them to the flavoured sugar. Mix a tea-spoonful of arrowroot very smoothly with three table-spoonfuls of maraschino or Curacoa. Stir all gently over the fire for three or four minutes until the sauce thickens, then serve immediately. Probable cost, exclusive of the liqueur, 2d. Sufficient for three persons.
