Orange Vinaigrette

Description
This tangy vinaigrette is made and packed with real fruit juice, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey and is ideal for any meal. Make the fruit-based vinaigrette more appetizing and bolder with other herbs and spices.

Ingredients

 * 4 cups orange juice
 * ¼ cup cider vinegar
 * 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
 * 3 tbsp. honey
 * 2 ½ cups canola oil
 * 2 pinches fresh ground pepper, black only
 * 2 tbsp. cold water just in case

Directions

 * 1) Reduce the orange juice and cider vinegar down to 1 cup over moderate heat in a heavy pot.
 * 2) Stir regularly with a wooden spoon. Be careful; once it starts to thicken, then it can stick and burn to the bottom of the pot.
 * 3) Allow this to cool before proceeding.
 * 4) Place the remaining orange juice in a stainless steel bowl.
 * 5) Add the Dijon mustard and the honey, and using a wire whisk, whisk it together.
 * 6) Then very slowly add the oil in a steady stream, constantly whisking. Continue until all the oil is added.
 * 7) If at any time that it appears that the mixture is becoming too saturated with oil and might separate, then add 1 tbsp. of the cold water, while still whisking. Then continue with the remainder of the oil.
 * 8) Add the fresh ground pepper. Pour the fruit-based vinaigrette into a fresh plastic bottle then reserve this in the refrigerator.
