SOUS VIDE ORANGE PUREE

This purée goes very well with wild game, charcuterie, and cheese and can be puréed with butter to make delicious orange butter. We use it to flavor purées on its own or, for a more mellow flavor, enriching with butter. When adding to butter, we typically add one orange to 1 pound of butter and purée while the butter is soft and the purée has cooled.
