Caramelized Sunkist Mandarin Marmalade Topping (optional)

- Over medium heat, add butter to your skillet, allowing it to coat the entire cooking service.

- Add Freshly-Squeezed Sunkist Delite® Mandarin Juice, Brown Sugar, and Cinnamon. Mix well & cook for an additional 15 minutes (or until the topping has reached your desired consistency).
- Enjoy!
