To make the orange puree, wash the orange well, and then put it in a pot and cover it with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the orange and cut in quarters, Remove any seeds, and then put the rest, peel and all, into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse and then puree until the orange is smooth.
Put the orange puree, along with everything into am enameled or non-reactive pot and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. Simmer the sauce, stirring often, for about 5-7 minutes. Taste the sauce to determine if and how you want to adjust the seasonings. This sauce has more body and is less tart than A1. You can add more water to thin, and more vinegar for more tang, if you like.
Let the sauce cool for a bit and then carefully puree it in a food processor or blender. Take care when blending hot liquids ~ be sure the top is securely on your blender and is vented to allow for pressure to escape. I like to cover loosely with a kitchen towel as well.
I strain the pureed sauce through a fine mesh sieve ~ push the sauce firmly with the back of a spoon to get most of it through, you should only be left with a small amount of solids.
Cool the sauce and fill your bottles. I like to use a funnel. Refrigerate and use within a month.
