Orange Banana Syrup and Variations

We found this one many years ago in the "Where's Mom Now That I Need Her" book.
Still good.

1/2 c orange juice (can be sneaky and use the juice drained from the oranges)
1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 t cornstarch
1 sliced banana
1 can mandarin oranges, drained

Combine orange juice, sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan.  Stir until cornstarch in completely dissolved.  Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until thickened, stirring constantly.  Add banana and oranges.  Serve hot.

*To vary this syrup, substitute orange juice for water or juice of choice.  Mix with sugar and cornstarch as instructed above.  Add 1 cup of fruit or berries of choice in place of oranges and banana.
