Warm Orange Sauce

I created this warm orange sauce because I had made Trishie's Chocolate and Orange Bread Pudding from this site, and I felt like this would enhance her recipe and give me more of that orange flavor I wanted. Serve with warm bread pudding; crepes and pound cake would also be good.
