This recipe is…. Simple. Easy. And, delicious when drizzled onto Southern Style Chickn’ and Sweet Potato Waffles.

Ingredients
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (okay, so you can use store-bought orange juice but the flavor is just not the same)
1/4 cup Sweet Muscadine Wine (You can use the sweet red wine of your choice but, as a North Carolina girl, I’m kind of partial to using products from my home state)
1 tsp freshly grated orange zest
1/2 cup pure organic maple syrup
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (can use a bit more if you want to bump up the sweet heat)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring the Muscadine wine, orange juice, and orange zest to a rolling boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes.
Add in the maple syrup and cayenne pepper, stirring to combine.
Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 8 minutes more.
Reduce heat to lowest setting to keep the syrup hot while you prepare your waffles.
